O-Line

All that said they are definitely better than last year so far. It seemed like Brees was hurried on every play last year, and they could not create a hole to run through to save their lives until Armistead got in and got comfortable.

Strief and Lelito finished in the top 3 grades on offense.

Grubbs and Armstead slight positives.

Evans was the only negative O-lineman, and worst grade on the entire team.

Drew was flushed out of the pocket on the first drive. It was the second first down on the flip out to Cooks. In general, I was happy with the O-line play, especially run blocking, minus the sack and the Leito-Brees misfire.

Yep, other than Evans, our O-line played well. There were about 2 quarters where it seemed like their blitzes resulted in what looked like 9 guys in our backfield, but other than 2 quarters they looked exceptional.

And after 3 games Jimmy Graham grades out as the 4th best run blocking TE in the league.

Maybe defenses know what they have to do stop our offense & the OL accommodates it.
