We have 2 legit line that need to stick together:

Jack/VO/Sam and GLO

They moved Jeff with Mojo and Vesey on the third, I'd try keeping that going for awhile, It should work because it has an initiator a distributor and a finisher.

The remainder of Asplundh, Sheary, Mitts and Erod needs to be figured out and modified. Asp has earned his PT, Sheary...I don't know what he is right now- he should be and initiator but he's not, Same with ERod, Mitts should be an offensive threat..if not he's out. I'd really like to add a guy or 2 to this group. Still like the buy low on Josh Anderson idea myself.

What’s an initiator supposed to be?

Someone who starts plays by getting in on the forecheck. A hustler , he also may have some ability defensively if needed. The best lines traditionally have had some type of structure similar to this. My college coach taught me the phrase.

Goals per game:  .35 this season, .27 career
Assists per game:  .44 this season, .36 career

Normalized to a full season:
Points per 82 games:  65 this season, 52 career
Goals per 82 games:  30 this season, 22 career
Assists per 82 games:  36 this season, 30 career

SAMSON REINHART IS FINE
