Sam Ehlinger made a few plays with his legs, even though there was little to no threat of a passing game. At the very least we know Richardson can throw the deep ball with the very best of them, which should soften up coverages a lot. If we do have a deep threat early on in games, then i suspect that the running game will be significantly better than it was last year.
The offensive lines biggest risk to me is any sort of injury to any of them. I have little trust in the 6th or 7th guys. I am fairly comfortable that Nelson, Kelly and Smith will prove to be the players that their contract extensions warranted, with the additional experience at LT and RG, then we should be a lot better this year than last.
I know we drafted a couple of tackles, and picked up the best undrafted free agent guard, but they really shouldn't be considered anything other than the 8/9th guys on the line rotation. Pinter might be serviceable at centre, but i am not wholly convinced on that.
