The o-line is overrated

[3rdEyewarrior]

All of last year I heard former player say Tyler smith was a pro bowler or the second coming of Larry allen( r I p to the g o a t guard). Zack margins a hall of games who's still pro bowl level. Why can't they open more holes with these two in the line? Is it the players or the scheme? How do you have two pro bowl guards but have a ok at best run game? Even pillars went dominant with this line.

Its the scheme. People told me a real center would change it. NO! it's the scheme

We have two rookie offensive linemen and a RB tandem that isn't a tandem.

 

[Scotman]

And here I was thinking we did pretty well today

 

[Havic]

Who is rating them high? We have two rookies who played well today. If the rookies hold up, Smith continues to be a beast and Steele returns to his old form pre injury, they have a chance to be really good in the years to come. Martins spot will need to be filled next year and hopefully a viable replacement is already on the roster.

Rookies and 2nd year line man. Give them time to gel

No preseason as a unit with two rookies against a very stout defense.

Let’s tap the breaks a bit.

It looks like you're right. Asks is still close to the same zeke. Give him a good line. Pillars looked average last year. He ran behind tenn elite line and looked lime 2022 pollard.

They had over 100 yards rushing, against the Browns. Cleveland has one of the best defenses in the league and was at home.

Let's see how the run game does going forward once the OL builds more chemistry

That was probably one of the best defensive lines in the league. And they have good LBs

 

[Tabascocat]

Well, a true RB1 would go a long ways….

Only thing overrated is this topic and the original post.

I'm looking at the last few years. There aren't many holes.

Well, it was also the Browns defense. That was an upper level defense out there.

40% of the line was playing their first NFL game. At the 2 most important positions. They may be dominant at some point. With that said, I feel their run scheme has to be the issue. Gone are the days of the 5ft run holes. Can't be every player.

There are so many doofuses on this board, I swear.

 

[RonWashington]

Two rookies starting with Myles Garrett pretty much taken care of with over a 100 yards rushing and Dak had time most of the day . What did I miss ? I thought the line did the job .

I respect your self awareness.

Lol against the best D in the league, on the road. The line did a fine job.
