Re: Rank our OLine among the 32 teams
 

[QUOTE=FRPLG;322424]Well structured offenses make a very good line look great. I think both SD and Indy are examples. The fact that each has an offense that simply clicks in the passing game really reduces the strain on the OL. They are both very good for sure. I am hopeful that our passing game can improve to the point that the mechanics and execution of our passing game make our line look even better.[/QUOTE]

I don't disagree. However, those two teams had both a great running and passing attack. Therefore, I have to come to the conclusion that they have 2 of the best lines in all of football. It all starts up front.

[QUOTE=Mc2guy;322418]That is great stuff and very much in line with my previous post re: rankings. The only surprise to me was Indy being so low. They are ranked #1 in NPP% and they are far ahead of #2. Since they are a pass first team with the best QB in the league I have to believe they should be ranked higher by this measure.

Maybe you could adjust these rankings by weighting the run blocking ranking and the negative pass play ranking by the percentage of total yard gained by rushing or passing over the season. That way a primarily running team would get more credit for having a high yards/carry, and a primarily passing team would get more credit for being great pass blockers.[/QUOTE]

Good points, you could also argue that their lowly rank in TOP has more to do with there quick-score ability and the defense being unable to stop the run for most of the season rather than any deficit in the OL.

I was ranking our O-line based before the chiefs guys retired.

Dumbass couldn't keep his grades up and now is going to the supplimental draft. Good player maybe some backup on the o-line?

They say he might go in the mid rounds maybe as early as the third. He is viewed as the best player in the supplemental draft. Vikings are also showing heavy interest.

That's good to hear. On a side note just bought like 5 NFL preview magazines. 3 say our O-line is our strongest unit, 2 say our running backs are.

Re: Rank our OLine among the 32 teams
 

There's no way Atlanta is in the top 10 range. U can pretty much throw out rush yards per game for atlanta due to michael vick their qb running all over the place. Are most of his rush yards from pressure or him just taking the entire offense on his shoulders n just going with it.

Re: Rank our OLine among the 32 teams
 

Very good read, GTripp! I feel that it would have been nice to include the fact that Saunders offense was still new to the team which puts a strain on the o-line's ability to perform on a highly consistent basis. Just a Redskins' fans argumentative perspective, that's all. I think that the article's tone was very neutral based, which is commendable. Nice job.
