Guard play has become to this team what right tackle used to be (prior to Daryl Williams) and what tight end has mostly always been (although I still have hope for Knox). For some reason, the team historically struggles to identify talent for the same positions each season no matter the regime. Some of it is refusing to take a swing, while most of it has been poor talent evaluation (and refusing to accept it while continuing to play the guy). Fortunately, even with some of the misses (everyone has them), I feel pretty comfortable that McBeane knows their weaknesses and will continue to work to address them, unlike prior regimes who often seemed oblivious.
