If the OL is a piece of art then it resembles a Jackson Pollack piece... throw it up against the wall, see what sticks, hope others appreciate it.
If the OL is a movie then it would be called The Deer Hunter. Rivers plays the deer... D-linemen star as the hunters.
If the OL is a song then it would be Another One Bites The Dust.
If the OL is a book then it would be The Winter of Our Discontent.OLineCentric

Are there areas and things that need improving...absolutely. Is the sky falling? Not at this time.

Rewatch that game. There was plenty of mauling in the run game. Screen game was really well executed. Offense put up around 450yrds. Yes there was a stretch of poor play, highlited by Scott, but there were a lot of positives as well. Lets hope they learn from their mistakes and take another step up.Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

And yet somehow despite many on this board constantly bemoaning the oline and Wiz, we avg'd over 6 ypc, had an excellent screen game, and put up over 450yds and won vs a quality opponent and D.

Our OL is well-suited to running the ball. But don't get too over-excited. The Colts lost their best run stopper (Al Woods) and tries to replace him with 295 pound Margus Hunt. And their offense was anemic early on, allowing us to stick to our strength (running). My fears lie with our pass protection. Once we start playing dynamic offenses (NE/KC) who tend to lead early, I think we have big problems when we need to pass on offense to keep up. Both Tevi and Scott are below average pass protectors. That's just a fact. Our goal shouldn't be to beat the Colts, it should be to beat playoff bound teams (KC, Balt, NE).
