I'm not saying they're going to "flop"... I've never used the term; but, I do think we're looking at a repeat of last year, with marginal improvement.
But given where they were, marginal improvement isn't going to cut it... the max protecting the HAD to use last year just killed the offense last year. When they didn't max protect, Favre was either running for his life, or the play was a 3 step drop and the ball was gone b/4 the blocking broke down.
Favre's ability to evade the rush, and Greens toughness and ability to move the pile and pick up that tough 3rd and 1, went a long way toward giving the illusion that the line was getting the job done; but, with Green gone, I think that makes it that much tougher on everybody else - especially Favre.
