I think his reasons for choosing best O-line can be a bit subjective. For example, Vikings were voted #3 because they didn't give up a sack and got 143 yards, but they rushed for an average of 3.6 yards per rush. That isn't very good. Some teams might not run the ball a lot but still give their QB plenty of time to throw. Other teams might not get sacked a lot because they're primarily a running team, but then they don't average much per carry (like the Vikings). I just think it's hard to look at numbers when determining what is a good O-line. Obviously, you want your QB to have time to throw and your RB to have lanes to run, but just looking at numbers can be misleading. That's like just looking at sacks when assessing a pass rusher's ability.
