The fact that he gets less pressure with a five man front just means he is throwing the ball away quicker.  This is great if you never want to throw the ball very far downfield.  Also it says nothing about the quality of the pass blocking.  The comments Brady makes about five man protection applies to both bad and good O-lines.


Same goes for the stats showing better protection with just 5.  It applies to both good and bad O-lines.


nothing about either one of these quotes changes the fact that LSU had one of the best pass blocking lines in the nation.    

Athlon Sports ranks LSU offensive line 20th mostly due to Run Blocking
Pro Football Focus ranks LSU offensive line 30th mostly due to run blocking.

Football Outsides ranks LSU offensive line 64th in sack Rate and 45th in sack rate per pass downs.


No...The LSU offensive line was not very good in pass protection. It just shows you how well Joe Burrow performed under pressure.
