Five best, worst NFL offensive lines: Cowboys shine, Jets a mess

Our O-line rightly ranked in the bottom 5 in the league

 

That's a subjective ranking. It's basically clickbait without much thought put into it.

 

Kind of like our OLine.

 

You do know its ok for our O-line and MM to suck right? They're not mutually exclusive.

You're relentless

 

Nope... hate blinders.

 

He's or she is a real troll and puts 100% blame on MM8 for everything.

 

"Among 26 qualifying NFL quarterbacks, Mariota has averaged the 4th longest time in the pocket per drop back at 2.90 seconds. He’s spent at least 2.5 seconds — roughly the NFL average time to attempt — in the pocket on 61.9% of his drop backs this season, the 3rd highest rate in the league. Out of his 22 sacks, 17 of them have come more than 2.5 seconds after the snap.

Mariota has been under pressure on 36.0% of his drop backs which ranks as the 15th highest pressure rate in the league among those same 26 passers. The problem is that no quarterback allows pressure to be converted to sacks at a higher rate than Mariota. He allows 34.4% of his pressures to turn into sacks. The next highest rate in the league is rookie Kyler Murray at 30.0%. The median rate among the 26 qualifying quarterbacks we are looking at here is 16.2%, less than half of Mariota’s rate. This isn’t limited to just 2019 either unfortunately. Mariota also led the league in this category in 2018 with 29.8% of his pressures turning into sacks."

Nothing about that suggests that we have a bottom 5 offensive line. They could and should play better, but the sack total, cherry picked plays, and irrational, uneducated fan reactions are the only thing which suggest that they deserve the image which is being portrayed. As this data suggests, if Mariota avoided pressure as well as the middle of the pack QB in the league does, he'd have 10 sacks right now and the line issues would be closer to an afterthought than the offense killer you guys want to think they are.

 

This thread is about the season in general, don't turn this into a MM8 thread, there's a different thread for it.

 

Apologies, I found the article about our O-line and couldnt find a better thread to place it in

 

All good, I was more referring to the he/she poster ABC person because the only thing the person ever does is cry, moan, whine about MM8 in every thread and never talks about anything else.

Also your post about the O Line fits here as it is generally a talking point about the team per se.
