Actually if you go back, look at the games and check the stats (not PFF nonsense the actual stats from Pro Football Reference) you see some interesting things.
Miami was the last game we played where we had MJ in at Guard; XSF came back starting the next game and played through seasons end.
In the Miami game we gave up 6 sacks - it was also when Jordan got hurt so the line was flip flopped again.
In the 4 games after that we gave up a TOTAL of 2 sacks 9 hits and 11 pressures. And if you remember yes Finley made a big play and we won but be stunk back there as a passer. The Rat fiasco was more nonexistent run defense and badly depleted skill positions on offense where the O had no ability to sustain drives.
So....yes once we had XSF and Spain in at G the interior line improved in both run and pass protection.
