Props To The O-Line!

O-Line played lights out. I agree that they are getting better as the year go's along. As long as they keep giving Joe the time he needs we can play with anybody including GB

I also agree with Grubbs being the linch pin Ozzie needs work his magic and get him signed long term

We have the best interior oline in the league.

Also, can someone put that Leach/Willis wreckage on youtube? I'm tired of debating with Niner fans about who will have the better career out of Ray and PWilly.

Those fans are delusional if they think Willis will surpass what Ray has achieved. He's obviously a great player and despite getting abused last night, still the best ILB in the game to me. But he'll just never be the complete package of dominance, intimidation, leadership and influence Ray is. No one will.

After hearing about San Frans rushers [u][b]I was a bit worried[/b][/u], but I must say the Oline did fantastic and kept Flacco clean.

Aside from the return of Ben Grubbs which has helped secure the line, I think the key has been the balance of pass/run ratio of plays called. When you call a ton of pass plays it tires out the OL because they constantly have to fall back and protect. When you call running plays it allows them to take the initiate and go after the defense and maul them.

These last two games have been key as to why the pass to run ratio should stay around 55-45 (it's a passing league so you will have to throw the ball more) because it allows a good mix for your offensive line to get a chance to do different things and not constantly drop back and protecting. What OL doesn't like to go after a defender and pancake him every once in a while? Keeping the game steady is very important for the OL play to be top notch.
