There is plenty to worry and be depressed about with regard to this team. LT isnt one of em.

Not only do we have him for all, or most, of his career... but he gave us a ridiculously good hometown discount.

Mancrush developing on Tyron.

And that's how it should be done...

Both sides give to benefit each other...

One-sided contracts harm someone...

The O-line in general was fantastic. The offense is so much more fun to watch. Putting 3 first rounders on the O-line was worth it.

What's more impressive, if you include last years game Robert Quinn only has one pressure against Tyron Smith in two games.

You make a guy who had 19 sacks last year a non-factor and you have pretty much already punched your probowl ticket

Yeah, they pass blocked much better today than in either of the first two games. It makes sense too because it takes longer for offensive lines to work as a unit in pass blocking than it does in run blocking. Martin is working with Free and Frederick for the first time ever and I expected it to take a few games to get it down.

To their credit, it happened a little sooner than I thought.

I'm sure they'll still have some miscues, but they will get more in sync on stunts, blitzes, etc. as the year goes on.

Best OL we've had since the 1995 unit IMO.

This was the one good thing to come from that 2010 season. If you are picking in the top ten and not taking a QB, left tackle, or pass rusher you are doing it wrong. We did it right that time.
