I wonder if there is a stat that shows a correlation of how many pro bowl O-lineman you have, with say your final record, or postseason success. I know the talk is always about a franchise QB, but man having a stout O-line can make things SO easy. Look at how the Bears, the Saints, and teams like that are playing this year.
Miss our 2015 line lol
Well, I know a lot of tackles that were on piss poor teams....The Browns had a perennial Pro Bowler, as did the 49ers. The Eagles, who sucked many a years, had a Pro Bowl tackle and Guard for a while. One of the best centers was at Miami.
I think it is more about cohesiveness. They may not dominate man to man, but if they work together well and are solid as a unit, that is how teams win in the post season.
