What a difference a good line makes..... to everything.
Good OL......
- have a sustained running game
- dynamic passing attack
- play action that actually works! due to the running game.
- time of possession
- time of possession and allowing the defence to recover and be coached up
- time of possession ---- not having a young defence on the field too much
- More chance of converting 3rd and 4th downs.... and not having to rely on a kicker!
But more than anything, doesn't just feel good when your team has an OL that impose it's will on another team. Weren't the 80's running Rams Teams good for that!.
