PFF stats shows how bad the OL has been

1) Center is a HUGE improvement this year. Sacks, hits and pressures all dropped and the 3 additional hurries are what they are (as hurries are a VERY subjective stat).

2) Likewise, RG is a big upgrade. While it picked up three sacks (and with PFFs weird habit of misaligning sacks who knows) everything else is far lower.

3) Even RT despite the complaints is better this year. Sacks, hurries and pressures are all lower with a couple more hits.

4) LG is definitely worse this year but again this was to be expected with a rookie. And most of the bad stuff occurred in the first three games.

5) LT is a definite problem. Yes Jonah is playing hurt but that also is an indictment of the coaching for not either sitting him until he is not hampered so much or putting a helper next to him all the time.

So, the stats do not tell the story that the 2022 is just universally worse.

I don't think it's really a matter of being worse. More a matter of not a lot of improvement for big $$$$$$ being shelled out.
