Parenthesis is what the offensive line unit was ranked last year.

32. Detroit Lions (14th)
31. Washington Redskins (12th)
30. Seattle Seahawks (19th)
29. Baltimore Ravens (3rd)
28. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (25th)
27. Miami Dolphins (32nd)
26. Green Bay Packers (4th)
25. St. Louis Rams (31st)
24. Chicago Bears (15th)
23. San Diego Charges (29th)
22. San Francisco 49ers (9th)
21. Philadelphia Eagles (2nd)
20. Denver Broncos (10th)
19. Indianapolis Colts (17th)
18. Jacksonville Jaguars (18th)
17. Tennessee Titans (28th)
16. Houston Texans (5th)
15. Minnesota Vikings (21st)
14. New York Jets (13th)
13. Pittsburgh Steelers (8th)
12. New York Giants (20th)
11. Arizona Cardinals (24th)
10. Kansas City Chiefs (27th)
9. Buffalo Bills (30th)
8. New Orleans Saints (11th)
7. New England Patriots (23rd)
6. Cincinnati Bengals (7th)
5. Oakland Raiders (16th)
4. Dallas Cowboys (1st)
3. Cleveland Browns (6th)
2. Carolina Panthers (22nd)
1. Atlanta Falcons (26th)



quote:

1. Atlanta Falcons (26th)
Pass blocking rank: 4th

Run blocking rank: 2nd

Penalties rank: 6th

Stud: What a difference a year makes. He was, quite frankly, awful last year as he played through injuries. But in 2015, Jake Matthews (+5.6) looks like one of the better linemen in the league.

Dud: The only player with a negative grade is right tackle Ryan Schraeder (-0.1), and you can thank J.J. Watt for that.

Summary: What a turnaround. Something you rarely see, Atlanta has morphed its scheme and personnel to achieve immediate results. Mike Person has been a revelation at center, and Chris Chester has proven to be a tremendous free agent pickup. Even Andy Levitre, who looked spent in Tennessee, has fit in seamlessly.

How disgustingly good is Aaron Rodgers?

How they hell did the Saints rank 11th last year? That's around 15 places too high.

Probably because Armstead is a beast and Strief was actually good last year.

How the Saints are in the top 10 blows my mind. Drew has been hit a lot and our running game has been inconsistent at best.

Drew is also great at avoiding pressure and gets rid of the ball when under pressure. He avoids a lot of sacks with his awareness

With the way pff scoring works, that really benefits the oline

Gotcha. I just figured they would account for a qb constantly having to run for his life to get a pass off. I really hope Evans is out for a while.

It does, but it is also result oriented meaning that a qb hit or a sack is going to force a much worse grade on the play

riiiiiight, the Packers are 4-0 with the 26th best oline

Aren't these the same dumbasses who were saying Rodgers was mediocre in that 5 TD game a couple of weeks back?

That isn't how their rankings work.

Rodgers doesn't get as much credit for finding an open receiver as another player would for making a difficult play
