Apparently not very well

One offensive lineman, regardless how good he is, cannot block the entire defense. Depending on the situation, a good lineman could possibly block 2 or 3 defenders, but that's only in certain situations. Can't judge one olineman by the score of the game. There is no other position group on a football team where the old cliche', "a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link," has greater significance than the oline. It only takes one defender to ruin an offensive play, but it takes all 11 offensive players to make it successful. Okay, I do understand there are extenuating circumstances, say, like if you have a Barry Sanders in your backfield, then it's just, "give him the ball and everybody get out his way!" LOL
