There’s something wrong with this offensive line. Whether it’s because of the lack of time with all of them at each of these spots together, or coaching or a lack of communication or just a lack of execution; there’s something wrong.

So, how does it get fixed?

Let’s start with the center and guard situation.

Even though Ali Marpet isn’t their biggest problem, was moving him to center ultimately the wrong move? Would the Bucs be better served with Marpet at guard and say, Joe Hawley, at center? After all, Hawley is more experienced and Marpet was a proven stud at guard.

And what are your thoughts on the Evan Smith/Kevin Pamphile rotation at left guard. Is it wise? Should it continue?

Lastly, what do you think should be done about the offensive tackles? Is Donovan Smith the guy long term, in your mind? If he’s not, do you make the switch now and try to move Demar Dotson over to left tackle, or do you let the year play out as it is and move on after that? Give me your overall thoughts on Smith and whether you think he has what it takes to be a starting left tackle tackle (or even right tackle).

Is this a unit you could see the Bucs upgrading with a high draft pick? If so, who are some guys you’d like to see them target?

Give me your assessment of this Tampa Bay offensive line. Is it closer (maybe a piece away or some extra time together) to being a line that could gel soon and play with the best, or is it closer to needed a full-blown reboot?
