There's no mention of LT's ability to catch the ball out of the backfield, but I think that will clearly play a significant role in our offense as well.
3.2, 2.4, 3.7, 3.7, 0.5, 2.0 (3.0 ave over 6 games) vs 2.7, 4.6, 2.9, 2.3, 2.9, 2.6 (3.0 ave over 6 games) They both finished the season equally well, so nobody wins this argument, unless we bring OL play into the equation. Whilst LT was averaging 3.0ypc Sproles was managing 5.5ypc on 27 carries. Whilst TJ was averaging 3.0ypc Shonn Greene was putting up 5.4ypc over 91 carries. We all lose!!
Actually looking at the video, my god our line does mual people at times. This is why I'm not worried about the signing or LT not being the old LT. If you can see the hole, you can get 4+ yards on a lot of our running plays. If you can make one LB/DB miss you can eat up chunks of yardage. He picked the perfect spot to end his career and hopefully help us out in the short term.
That was a great video, thanks for posting. I like how they broke down the O-line and the holes they create. I bet LT was looking at those holes and salivating. (That sounded pretty dirty)
Not the best of all time... But I think we should be able to hold about half of the teams we play to less than 10 points. Gang Green's defense is now like Old Broccoli: It's Mean, Green, and makes certain people furious!
