We are in the era of the best Offensive linemen in NFL history!

NFL Teams Moving Out From Under Center, Riding Shotgun

As NFL offenses continue to evolve, teams are riding the shotgun formation, and in big numbers. Rarely anymore do QBs line up under center.

And now we up to 80 some percent in 2024, right?....

OP is retarded, pay him no mind. Oline around the NFL have been atrocious. Its the pass rush that has improved if anything

6’8 365 lbs. dude moving like that is crazy and he got elite technique and high Football IQ. That’s an all-timer LT the Eagles got. The fact Lane Johnson additionally is the right tackle is outright insane.

Eagles and Detroit lines were absolutely crazy this year. They basically shoved teams up the field while slamming elite RB’s. Chiefs had a great one too when they had Eric Fisher.

I feel like it's the exact opposite.

Yeah. I have to disagree. Offensive linemen lack the skills and techniques that linemen in the previous 20 years have. What's happening is that today's linemen are better athletes but it may be another year maybe two before they acclimate to the defensive linemen of today.

 

[Doctor Doom]

Disagree. Think the overall skill level is lower because the position isn't being prioritized like it was in the past. Doesn't help that offensive schemes are trash because of the refusal to commit to the run, not allowing proper play-action and the overexposure and reliance of shotgun/pistol formation.

My Texans are on the opposite side of the pool. Them O-line nikkas owe the city and CJ money.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

There are no Jonathan Ogden, Walter Jones, Willie Roaf, Orlando Pace etc in today's league.

Penei Swell is playing on their level

IDK weren't ppl saying that run blocking is a dying art cause schools don't lone up under center any more

 

[315]

Huge reason the Bills got as far as we did. Not gonna act like I pay attention to more than 3 or 4 teams OL though lol

 

[Black Lightning]

This is the weakest era.

Most of the linemen today can’t block for shyt.

But Shotgun and Pistol makes it harder. Why pressure the line if they can't handle it?

It doesnt make it harder. They utilize the RB and TE to help pass protection. Your reasonings so far have been ass cheeks. nikka saw the philly line in the SB and ran to make this thread

I feel like it's the exact opposite.

its clearly the opposite

when a good tackle or a good center goes down, your line becomes an absolute sieve

there arent enough great olinemen and teams who have them generally will never let them go, unlike some other positions

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

The coli say the stupidest shyt.


NFL defense ain't even allowed to be no where close to ass aggressive and wild as in the past so the offense now has AN EXTREME advantage compared to the past. Every facet of offense actually underwhelming considering how much of an advantage it has to the defense compared to the past. Oline in the past compared to now was putting in major fukking work.
