“Statistically, it shows that when you're in five-man protection, five-man protections give up less sacks...you actually get the ball out faster. You limit what defenses can do.” - Joe Brady
'Not only does LSU bring in more EPA per play with five or fewer pass-blockers compared to plays with six or more, but they are allowing a pressure rate that’s 6% less with five pass-blockers.' - PFF
Imagine how many more sacks that line would've given up if it hadn't been for five-man protections, and Joe's ability to scramble, escape and create soemthing out of nothing while under pressure.
