Not only did chip not do anything about the line, he got rid of Mathis and Herremans. He doesn't value the line as much as others, it backfired.
Todd was totally finished, he was terrible for the Colts after leaving the Eagles. Mathis was about the money, if he hadnt complained about his contract 2 years in a row he would have still been there. If Gardner doesnt go down for the season week 1 the OL would not have been as bad as it was. Chip definitely did not focus on the line as much as he should, but outside of Lane what did howie do to fix the Ol all his years? I really think a big part of the OL situation was having Jeff Soutland in place who was considered a guy that could coach up anyone.
