Hunter2_1 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Heading into 2017, who do you see as having the best and worst offensive lines? Mine; Best Philadelphia: I believe the best offensive lines aren't necessarily the ones with the most big names on, but the ones with fewest holes. It's important to just do your job (not lose), and I believe the Eagles line is all-round solid with no holes Pittsburgh: See above. The latter part of last season, they were very good. Villanueva exemplifies that, he came on extremely strong over the last half of the season and allowed just 12 pressures Dallas: No other line has the star names like Martin, Frederick and Smith. Dominating linemen, but question marks over Collins at RT and the LG that has been batted around the league. When you have the aforementioned LT,C,RG though, you'll be mostly great Tennessee: Building something special along the line. The bookends are widely regarded as elite (or close to), while former undrafted guard Quinton Spain has turned into a gem. Chicago: The best interior line in the league (Sitton, Whitehair, Long). Sprung Howard, work very well in the zone running game, and in Sitton you have arguably the best pass protecting guard. Ends bring them down slightly Worst Seattle, Cinci, NYG, SF What say you?

blkwdw13 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I am very surprised you have Chicago as one of the better lines in the NFL, I personally don't think they are that high but I also don't know who I would have above them. And dont the Raiders have a good line also, the Packers is pretty underrated too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castiron Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Vikings should be in the worst category as should everybody in the AFC South not the Titans. Raiders have a top 5 line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///mcompact Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 IMO, as far as pass protection goes, the Raiders and Packers have to be in the Top-3. For run blocking, Dallas has had the best since 2014 and probably still will this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Raiders have the best left side by far. Kind of let down slightly by RT. Packers yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boone is very solid, and I really liked Isadora coming out, but Berger was a solid C kicking back out to his natural OG spot will probably start. They have the makings of a solid OL, if they're not successful, it's all about coaching/scheme IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elfein is not our starting center, hasn't played an NFL down, and has been in competition with a UDFA rookie. Renders and Boone are both back up quality players. Vikings are as bad as anyone on the Oline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remmers is terrible Terrible at T, Berger is 35 and has spent the majority of his career as a backup for a reason, Boone is average, and Reiff has been hurt. They have hot garbage.

No doubt they're one of the best though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Munch completely turned our OLine around. Before he got there, even with some talent, we didnt have the coaching to put it together. Munch brought out the best in Pouncey, DeCastro and Gilbert, and gets the most out of average talent players like Villaneuva and Foster. Praise be to Munch. Amen.

Renders and Boone are both back up quality players. Vikings are as bad as anyone on the Oline. I agree, the OL should be a mess again. Reiff and Berger are the best players of this group. Elflein has looked excellent so far but we've not seen it yet in the regular season. Im excited about Elflein but the tackle situation is worrisome. LG doesn't look good either, Boone was bad last year but I'm sure they will stick with him over Easton unfortunately. Easton might be decent at LG but we may never know. overall, I think the Vikes will be average in terms of run blocking but bottom 3 in pass protection.

He wasn't a good HC but he's always been a hell of an OL coach. Nice to see that's still the case. The same can be said for Russ Grimm with us. Out of all the additions we added last year, he may have been the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
