The 2023 JeanPierre Saints Roster Depth Chart Thread

They were talking the struggles of offensive lines across the entire league a little earlier today on NFL Radio. Sacks are trending to blow away the league record this season. Among the factors that were given are the simplistic offenses being run across college teams everywhere. They are not being asked to hold blocks with the spread/West Coast and their tendency to get the ball out so fast. Almost no teams have the QB under center anymore. Limited practice time is also a factor. The NCAA is now limiting all football related activities to 20 hours per week. That not only includes actual practices, but also other workouts, meeting times and even game day activities including the game itself. Offensive linemen are coming into the league less developed than ever before in the history of the NFL. This not only means delaying the development of the players once they get into the NFL, but also making the selection process more difficult when it comes to the draft with the evaluation of the players.

Interesting points made in the show.
