I wish the O-line would play angry. It seems like the receivers take more pride in getting pancakes than the line does. Decent talent so far but I would love to see us be able to ram it down some poor teams throat. When they have the momentum nothing kills it like a nice 15 play drive for 70 yards and a few points. When the defense puts 9 in the box and your running back still goes untouched for 2-3 yards you can run whatever you want all day long and look like a genius. But that only happens if the o-line has a chip on its shoulder. Fixing the defense(read aggressiveness) would be nice but without better o-line play they are still on the field 70% of the game. I will go to my grave believing that we wasted 2009 and the best defense in decades for that very reason.
Pipeline!
You are right, the team has no vocal leaders. That is really damming to the QB, since that comes with the job.We need a group of 3-4 seniors to step up and just kick everyone's asses in gear. I'm talking Rex, Compton, Meredith, Steinkuhler, etc. There is no discipline on this team leading to many unnecessary penalties, turnovers, dropped balls, etc. With some leadership adding a little focus, maybe that would improve.
I think this is the biggest problem with this team and it has been for quite some time.

No it's really not, but nice try. Young QBs aren't typically you're vocal leaders but they usually grow into that roll over time.That is really damming to the QB, since that comes with the job.
