I hope they post this in the locker room for bulletin board fodder.

I think our line is better than all 3 in many ways. I think Favre has less sacks than all 3 of those teams QB and the current state of the running game seems to be better at this point as well.

Or am I still wearing the Green and Gold googles from the Seahawks game? :lol:

Our line doesn't have the experience. Strictly in terms of the OL only, I might tend to agree with those rankings. However, last week showed how we can incorporate our FBs and TEs very effectively into our blocking, especially in the run game. When you factor that in, that is when I think you have to start ranking the blocking as a group higher. Bubba is a very good blocking TE...and our FBs try to knock the snot out of people.
