Offensive Line Play

[Roberto71]

I may be exaggerating, but this past season was really one for the defenses. Stellar O Line play was few and far between. We know defenses win championships, but there's been a noticeable dominance by defensive front 7s this season when it really mattered.

That might seem unfair in a league where you have guys like Miller, Watt, Atkins, Collins, Kuechly, Wilkerson, Fletcher Cox, Bennett, Ware , Mack, Bowman etc etc but it does seem there's a lack of comparable talent on the other side of the LOS. An issue might be the really good O linemen are on terrible teams as well.

Oh, how the narrative changes. At the beginning of the season the Patriots were the new innovators at OL play. Rotating players in and out. A new model for how OLs will be in the future. Now, not so much.
