Basing my opinion on ESPN win rate, PFF grades, sacks and most things one would look at, I'd say we're average at best, and most likely a bit below that. It beats the pants off of where we were last year, but its not to the point where I think people should be doing victory dances and rubbing people's faces in it.
...and just to maintain average-at-best, the FO has work ahead of it, to bring back Spain and Reiff. Priority should be Spain, as he's really our only linemen who has truly played at a very high level. Jonah and Reiff have been very solid but not anything close to Whitworth level, and Hopkins/Carman have been replacement level.
We're better, but the line is still probably the weakest aspect of this team.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
