    3 games in a row the OL has been fantastic, i dont think we had any holding, procedure, penatlies and they have been dominating the line of scrimmage


    Adams went toe to toe with one of the best today and did well, got beat a few times, but that happens... great game today against a tough front 4

    They have been outstanding. The best I've seen them play in 3 years. Keep it up.

    Our OL is really starting to gel.

    +1. This OL is finally getting the play calling that they are built for. And amazing the difference that a real FB makes. Something that was clearly lost on BA.

    How many total sacks did we give up? I really think THIS was the best DL I have seen in the NFL this year!

    Part of it, I'll have to say, has to go to Willie Colon, who seems to have figured out how to play guard now, and is just killing people on running plays. I've hated Willie openly on this board and other boards in the past few years, but I'll give him credit when it is due, and it is.

    I'm kind of sad that Mendenhall is hurt and won't ever see a full season with us again. Him plus this OL and he could win a rushing title.

    I agree. Colon is definitely a better G than T and he has really developed a nasty streak.

    I think the line is playing better than they have in years. At least the best ben has had

    Yes, I agree. It's been awhile since the o-line has looked this good. I don't believe that I have seen Colon play as good as he is right now.

    I've been down on them for a long time.

    If any day was the day they'd prove me wrong it's today.

    To play the way they did against this Giants team...I'm a believer

    I'd still take the 04-05 lines- with Faneca and Hartings, and also with Max Starks- as better than this one, but it is doing a lot better than the ones for the last 2 Super Bowls, that's for sure.

    When DeCastro and Gilbert comes back, along with Legursky we will actually have some good depth on the OL since what, the 1970s?

    Add that to our depth at RB and look out NFL.

    Our O later this year is going to be unstoppable.

    :herewego: This line seems to be more of the mauler types of line, big and heavy except for pouncey. Much better at run blocking than pass blocking. Although getting much better than the beginning of the season. :herewego:
