Unfortunately the line is one where single plays matter a lot. You have five guys out there, and if they are all bad on "a single play" each, you might have just given up 5 sacks.
So when someone says "only 5 bad plays" to me that is a lot for a lineman. Especially if bad isn't an over exaggeration for average.
I think what some people are calling a bad play is simply where the defender won the match up and the olineman didn't grade a + or even on the play. I mean a player plays 50 snaps and loses 5 of the matchups and people are on his butt saying it's too much. However when the table is turned and our defender wins only 5 match ups against the opposing oline than all of a sudden they're saying 5 wins for a defender is not enough....but here's the thing.
We didn't give up 5 sacks. Not even close.
It's like what was written about Needham in his first year... wall-to-wall whining about how he was garbage, he was trash, he'd never be any good...
It was childish, and it was wrong. So many here are so quick to write off a player... it's nauseating.
