Does the sports media bother with facts?

Walter Jones this, Walter Jones that.

Seattle's two weakest places to run on the line, in order: Left Tackle, and Left End.

The best place? Middle to right. By the numbers, Damion McIntosh is a substantially better run blocker than Walter Jones. He's ranked 1st.

If an offensive lineman is GOOD, by media standards, he is GREAT/EXCELLENT/AMAZING. In the NFL they tend to try and paint faces on O. Lineman and when a famed guy does something good it will be hailed for days to come, whereas if an unknown does something good, it will simmer in five minutes. Just the way the game is. Ogden is nowhere as good as they say he is. IMO, that's incredible to see our LT rank so high! Number 1, way to go D-mac!

Thats because as a right handed back, your vison is to the right also

So there should be statistically more runs to the right, hense more yards and a better ranking for the right side

Its about the holes seattle opens up on the left not the rankings and stats

Don't be silly. Walter Jones is the best left tackle in football, and combined with Hutch, that left side is better than oline combo in the NFL.
