Our big $$ guards brought stability, but they also brought in good veteran leadershipwho can mentor the rest of the lineman on the correct way to do things. Huge. Can not overstate this. ‘Here’s how you become good’ type guys. When he does X, you do Y. dudes who are not ok with losing. 

And handing off blocks and assignments is so much easier when you trust the guys around you. poo, even Moton looked like trash next year in the settings we had him in. And we KNOW he is a very good player.

This honestly might be our best overall OL ever. Our other good OLs had worse weak links IMO that were easier to exploit.

I do think we have a lower top end than some previous great OL's. But this line has a very consistent level of play.

Good example being BC on Sunday. Got abused multiple times but....still didn't allow a sack. The much maligned Ikey.....also only one sack allowed on the year. 

We are allowing 1.8 sacks per game and 6 of them were in Bryce's first two games when he was the primary reason for the overwhelmingly majority of them.

Sounds like a lot of takes around here in 2021 about Mac Jones

I am a Jaden Daniels guys. I said he was the best QB in that draft. 

You ain't gonna hear me calling franchise QB yet a half season into his career. And he was playing at a potential MVP level.

Anyone remember that Carson Wentz almost won an MVP his second season?

That's fair. I guess that kinda speaks to what I value most in OL play - consistency. The SB50 OL had a higher ceiling of play but Remmers was a massive liability against speed rushers as we saw in our only two losses that year. We missed out on an undefeated regular season and a Lombardi because Remmers absolutely could not handle elite speed rushers and Shula could not scheme around it. Roll the pocket? Focus on plays allowing the ball to come out quicker? Nonsense! We do what we do! We'll keep an extra blockers in and just keep running our same slow developing downfield stuff no matter what!
