That’s the weird thing it sounds great to say they are top 10 but if you aren’t top 10 in a passing league in pass protection not sure if it’s the accolade people think it is.
I agree but think the writer is using the five projected starters for his ranking of each team.
I thought they did it based on pff grades?
They probably do but I was telling Roy he ( the writer ) apparently ranked each OLine assuming they will play the projected starters listed. Roy disagreed with the ranking ( #6 ) coz we may not get a healthy Steele back right away and of course Tyron's injury.
Correct sir
Pro Bowl is largely meaningless at this point with so many guys opting out. But technically, he was a pro bowl alternate last year. But it seems like half the league is a pro bowl alternate given how many players don't feel like playing in the game. LOL.
I think the thing is there are probably 4 or 5 dominant lines……then you have about 15 or more teams with average or below average lines. Maybe some above. You can win in this league with average offensive play. But when the playoffs come around you better win in the trenches. That’s what happened to Philly. Best offensive and defensive line in the league and the SB comes and they get dominated by a Chiefs offense line that they shouldn’t have been dominated by.
I pretty much agree with this, i think our line (like many other lines) struggled against the best Dlines because we dont change anything to overcome that strength...I'm hoping this changes this year... you dont need 5 1st round draft picks on the Oline for an offense to work.
Cowboys haven’t shown they can draft linemen outside of drafting in the first round. That’s a big issue there.
I would agree but i do think MM is showing that later round picks can get better.. it was a long road with JG either the player was good already or they wasted away..we now see players getting better thats a good sign.
I don't think you have to throw it out all together. It just means better than average as opposed to elite.
KC lines ain’t no joke either
KC lines ain’t no joke
I don’t consider alternates to be Pro Bowlers. If you’re a replacement for the guy who actually was voted in, you don’t count.
Terrence Steele has been great. Waiting to see what can be done with these draft picks
I don’t think so either but they have the reputation of not being good I guess because of the tackle spot they keep trying to replace. But I agree. I didn’t think they’d dominate the Eagles though.
Philly had a penalty issues is the playoffs. I think Chris Jones is the best DT not named Donald heck he could have surpassed him now. The OL is is probably top 3. They struggled against Tamap in SB a few years back but since they got healthy they are good. They may score better statistically because of Mahomes and play callers.
