Pro Football Network Final 2023 Offensive Line Rankings

[Nav22]

you got owned. Deal with it.

You're being a weirdo.

A QB who gets sacked among the most frequently in the league is 2nd fastest at getting the ball out?

You think that makes sense based on the ranking that was provided?

Cowboys go OL at 26 and they move up that list. I'm fine if they wait until day 2 if the talent will be there.

Bottom line is this OL is good enough to get past the first round of the playoffs.

If guys are healthy, it is good enough.

If you lose the starting OTs it is not close to good enough.

 

[John813]

In regards to Burrows, the stats say he is good at getting the ball out quickly, and is efficient at the quick release passing. However, the amount of times he was sacked could show that when the quick passing game wasn't there or they were trying for chunk plays is when his line couldn't protect him long enough or he held the ball too long.

But, IMO from what I saw from a handful of games was that the line wasn't that much better than the 2021 lin, even though they invested some money into it. And early on the offense just seemed to be in a superbowl hangover.

Been saying this for awhile. Lots of people complain Dak needs a better OL however they routinely rank out as a top 10 unit. People act like we have the Gaints OL or something

So true. Jones has always had a trash o line at the Giants. Difficult to properly and accurately judge him as he hasn't been blessed with much protection. The telling data from above is the Bills having one of the worst o lines in the league. Some people want to lazily label Allen as regressing rather than take into account that he has largely had a trash o line his entire career. It's not like he embarrassed himself last season with a top 10 o line.

Clearly, you're remedial.

Did I specify "pass blocking"? Or did I say their OL wasn't terrible (which it wasn't)?

I mean you did say,

He's just the master of holding onto the ball too long and taking sacks.

Does he hold on to long when he’s handing it off?

Some of Allen’s throws in the red-zone that resulted in INTs, when I watched him, were completely his fault.

But one can attribute that to just a stretch of bad plays. It’s not like he’s going into year 8, while chucking pick 6s and wasting a talented roster year in and year out. Guy was a Mahomes “ball last” drive away from the SB.

You get Mahomes behind this line and he still wins a super bowl. The OL is not an issue for this team.

Even Cousins who's most compared to Dak(stat wise and etc) has had a terrible OL. This past year was the first time they cracked the top 15 since 2017. Usually they were in the mid to low 20 range

 

[Nav22]

I mean you did say,



Does he hold on to long when he’s handing it off?

Does an effective run game lead to an easier passing game? Does an effective run game slow down the pass rush?

Does Burrow take a lot of sacks relative to the NFL average?

 

[DFWJC]

Not sure how this thread morphed into a bash Joe Burrow thread

 

[conner01]

Those of us who understand what we're seeing on Sundays knew Burrow didn't actually have a terrible OL.

He's just the master of holding onto the ball too long and taking sacks.

They played goid early but was really beat up by playoffs and played bad. But I believe they lost both tackles?

Most of their line was gone by the time the playoffs came around
Not as bad as the Rams, but close.

If this was a playoffs-only ranking, they would be high in that 25-30 range at best

They did a nice job fixing a weakness but it’s hard to overcome that many injuries. But that oline should be healthy this year and if they stay healthy they have talent
