_The reason it looked that good is, let’s face it, the first offensive line played better than people thought it would. Particularly in pass protection. And that seemed to be a thread throughout much of the night, except for the last 50 seconds of the first half. From the first group to the last group, they gave their guys time and only allowed three hits on the quarterback all night.
I'll be honest, I was pleased with how the offensive line played at the start of the game. Granted a lot of that is probably due to low expectations, but Andy had time to throw and if they can keep that up I think they'll be fine on offense.
Run blocking was subpar, but at the same time the run game will instantly improve simply by having Mixon back there. Eifert probably helps open up the run game as well.
If it goes like last night they can always rely on the passing game to open up the running game, which is pretty much the opposite of what I think most of us thought would be the case for the offense.
