Offensive Line

Since we're back into taking polls I have one of my own. I, personally, think our offensive line leaves a bit to be desired. It has been said by Whodat, specifically, that our offensive line "excels" in pass blocking. Of course he uses Deuce's 1600 yards last year as proof that our run blocking is excellent as well. While I admit that the scheme involved plays heavily, I disagree with his assesment of the overall ability of our offensive line, in both run AND pass blocking. I say this mostly because I think (a) Deuce made a lot of his yards on his own and (b) Brooks runs for his life WAY too often for me to even consider using the word "excel" as a way to describe our o-line.

Are they better than average? I think so, at times, but it is my opinion that they hardly "excel"...at anything...other than getting flagged for false starts and holding (Props to BMG for that one).

Thoughts? Opinions? Personal attacks? LOL
