Oh, and the top 4? Center, Guard, Guard, Center.
Quote:16. Andrew Whitworth, T, Los Angeles Rams – 83.6 overall grade
PFF Elite Stat: Whitworth has allowed just 21 pressures this year, across 443 pass blocking snaps.
He may be 36-years old, but Andrew Whitworth remains one of the best tackles in the game, and has done so outside of the protection of the Cincinnati offensive scheme which has been one of the easier to block within for the past several seasons. Whitworth has represented a monstrous upgrade over what the Rams have had at left tackle over the past few years. Whitworth has surrendered 21 total pressures on the season, and has positive grades in every facet of play PFF measures.
Quote:20. Kevin Zeitler, G, Cleveland Browns – 82.9 overall grade
PFF Elite Stat: Zeitler has allowed one single sack on 555 pass blocking snaps.
The big offseason acquisition for the Cleveland Browns along the offensive line was Kevin Zeitler, coming over from the divisional-rival Cincinnati Bengals. Zeitler hasn’t been as good as he was in the past, but he has picked up his play and still been impressive overall as this Cleveland offensive line has begun to gel. His season has actually been very strong, punctuated be regular poor games, typically against the best interior defenders on his schedule. He has had poor outings against his old team in Cincinnati, against Tennessee and Jurrell Casey, against the Ravens and Jaguars, but against everybody else he has been excellent.
Oh, and the top 4? Center, Guard, Guard, Center.
