I'm not buying that ranking right now.
We're 12th in yards per carry and we've only given up 9 sacks (19 teams have allowed more).
Yeah yeah, the pressures aren't good, but you can't be 30th with the above numbers. I'm not buying the "scheming around it" excuse, either. We've been attacking downfield and the line has been getting Andy time for those throws. They're also opening some decent holes in the run game.
We still have a ways to go before we can call the line an asset, but it's not 30th. Heck, 7 teams have given up double the sacks we have, and I'm sure their pressure numbers aren't exactly good. And again...we're 12th in YPC.
