Week 2 O-Line Stats Review

O-Line Baby!

Average Line Yards - Redskins

Entire Line: 3.48... 23rd in the NFL, i.e. bad, i.e. C-/D+

(and that was with Thomas, just you wait)

Let's break out ALYs by sector:
Left End, 3.00. Yikes. Big drop-off from last year.
Left Tackle, 4.45. Not bad, about NFL average. Sup Chris Samuels and Dockery!
Mid/Guard, 3.32. Below average
Right Tackle, 3.16. Awful. This side of the line has been rush blocking terribly.
Right End, 2.13. SO BAD.

So to recap, left side of the line is below average except for runs at the LT and they are barely average. Middle runs below average too. The right side of the line is pure SUCK. And again, that was WITH Thomas.

Want to guess how often the Redskins run to the right side? 14%, i.e. just enough to pretend like they aren't petrified that every rush to the right side is like having the QB kneel down.

The right side of the line is now an undrafted FA, Heyer, and Rinehart, a 3rd round pick 2 years ago. Things are looking really, really grim on the O-line. Pray for a miracle Samuels injury-free year....
