As for the other OL...
Hart - 29th OT with a rating of 64.0 (64.2, 60.3)
Smith - 36th OT with a rating of 59.5 (61.1, 53.3)
Jordan - 46th OG with a rating of 56.2 (58.3, 53.6)
Miller - 57th OG with a rating of 52.9 (69.9, 40.5)
Thanks, Ocho.
Clearly defenses have the edge early as a 77, while very good, is not a stellar grade. I would love to see how Seattle's line fared. I would imagine much worse. And same with Cleveland and pissburgh.
Hart was our second highest rated offensive lineman (barely). I believe when Glenn gets back the line will look even better. I was amazed by Jordan's performance for his first start as a (late) 4th round pick. He's going to be very good for a long time.
Looking at the line as a whole: not ONE false start penalty. Really impressive given their first start together and in that venue.
