[Mr. Scot]

I hate to suggest something that involves more work, but I would love to know how many of those rookies were drafted vs undrafted.

Look at those teams with the highest tenure and then look at the success of their running game. In nearly every instance the teams with 5+ years of collective experience have good running games.

 

The Panthers haven't had this since their Super Bowl/playoff era from 2002-2005 when their O-line remained very consistent.

[Mr. Scot]

Nice job.

[Keith Moons Liver]

Because we pick up guys that wouldn't start anywhere else. 

[MichaelNewtonII]

The cowboys look like they have a bright future if they can keep all those young O lineman
