Football Outsiders Ben Muth was raised in Phoenix, Arizona and had season tickets to both the Cardinals and Sun Devils. As a result, he insists on irrationally defending Jake Plummer as quarterback. He left the state to go to college in California. He played offensive line at Stanford from 2004-08 and was named first team all conference in his final season. He now literally bleeds Cardinal red (for the Arizona Cardinals and Stanford). He was picked up by the San Diego Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2009 but released later that same year, due to combination of injury and giving up too many sacks in practice. Football Outsiders is his first writing experience.
Bulaga and Newhouse are not praised, but Lang, Wells and Sitton are held in high esteem.

Watching GB-MIN. One drive in, it looks like it's going to be a LONG day for Newhouse.

Love GB calling a motion crack back on Allen the first play after he had a drive killing sack the series before.

GB oline is like 2 different units. The interior guys are really good, the tackles not so much.
FO_wordofmuth Ben Muth
Both guards really solid. Get good movement on running plays and don't give much ground in pass pro.

Wells is a stud. Awesome game from him. As good as Iv'e seen a center play since I started working for FO.

Newhouse had a really rough game. Looked tentative and slow in pass pro. Didn't cut anyone off on the backside of running plays.
FO_wordofmuth Ben Muth
Oh, and he fell down when he was the lead blocker on a toss and almost tackled Starks himself.

Bulaga plays too high in the running game, always seems to be on wrong side of LOS (did make a nice cutoff block on Packers last 1st down).

Doesn't seem very athletic in pass pro. Got beat around the edge too often.
FO_wordofmuth Ben Muth
Also, he sucks at stopping the penetrator on twists. Doesn't blunt him at all, always screwed his guard.

Was just 1 game and maybe MIN DEs are just alot better than their DTs, but it was amazing 2 see the difference between the inside & outside.

@jeffcav22 Not as bad as you would think. Interior should be fun to watch. Think the OTs have more trouble w/speed. Not Jackson & KVBs forte
