Just a PSA reminder for the "Defense wins Championships" crowd.

While there is a shortage of high quality OL every year compared to DL, come playoffs, the 1v1 talent has been pretty even, with many of the top OL > DL.

After just one weekend, all of these guys were completely shut down by quality OL play and are sitting on the couch now, like us: Myles Garrett, Zadarius Smith, Aaron Donald, Micah Parsons & Demarcus Lawrence.

This is a passing and pass protection league and has been for a long time now.

The passers made a much bigger difference than the pass protection.

It's a coach + Qb + Defense league

I wanna see SJD on the field a lot Saturday next to AA plugging up the middle. This is the game he needs to replace kinlaw. They've tried kinlaw, it doesn't work and results in huge gains by opposing RBs up the middle.

this is the game they need to change that now that we have a player capable of that, not next week.

Playoff OL's say to Myles Garrett, Zadarius Smith, Aaron Donald, Micah Parsons, Demarcus Lawrence, Josh Sweat, Fletcher Cox & Hassan Reddick. TJ Watt would have been sent packing too, if healthy.
