It could also be quite possible that the other position groups are just getting as good as the former O-line groups.. Everything in college these days is pass happy, much more so than years past, but still in college they'll always have outstanding players playing against guys who will never sniff the NFL. Most college players are just barely a tick above high school and don't really get much better by the time they graduate and it's not as if every college player has 24/7 to devote only to football. Some actually study other subjects, like partying too much and of course chase girls to the detriment of their own goals in life. How many times have we all heard someone say, "I played a little college ball." to become lawyers, doctors, engineers or whatever they do in life after college, maybe even warehouse workers or even janitors? They're about as predictable as the general population when you get right down to it.
