'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.
You are trying to say "apples" to prove "oranges."
The fact that he gets less pressure with a five man front just means he is throwing the ball away quicker. This is great if you never want to throw the ball very far downfield. Also it says nothing about the quality of the pass blocking. The comments Brady makes about five man protection applies to both bad and good O-lines.
Same goes for the stats showing better protection with just 5. It applies to both good and bad O-lines.
nothing about either one of these quotes changes the fact that LSU had one of the best pass blocking lines in the nation.
