    You forgot looks.

    She's a perfect "public face" of the franchise.

    If you allow no pressures in pass blocking, how do you get a grade of 60? In pass blocking. pressure is literally the only thing i care about

    I only saw one real breakdown and it came from the middle before the edges closed in

    Maybe don't pay attention to PFF grades in preseason games?

    Agreed PFF is hit or miss at the best of times

    I don't know about PFF grades, but from the eye test in this particular game, I feel much better about the Oline than I did previous. Granted, it's against a team with a not great defense. But they seemed much more cohesive and aligned than last year.

    They are improving; that's encouraging. If CJ gets time, look out. Serious contender? Possible. Let's see how they do against the better teams.

    Maybe the most amazing thing to me, was no yardage was lost on any of the runs. A few short or no gains, but zero 2nd and 12 yards to go through the whole game. The offensive line looked like they were completely coordinated. Not a bunch of individuals going one on one.

    In May during OTAs, Will Anderson unintentionally told the world the O-line had a big-time coaching and unity problem last year.

    My gosh what an improvement, was Bobby really that bad or was Tunsil just a cancer..............that's probably a harsh term, but were actually better without the All-Pro Diva..............give me a dawg every day over a talented diva who doesn't know what teamwork is

    Look at how many new starters are on the ol. It was mainly a talent issue.

    Yes, we've added more competition, but I think our new line has a different attitude and coaching has a big impact on the OL culture.

    Gave up an All Pro and looks like we might’ve drafted one in the same year

    No doubt Slowik was really that bad.

    I also think there is some truth to your statement give me a dawg every day over a talented diva who doesn't know what teamwork is. Demeco was determined to clean house and Tunsil was the main guy that had to go.

    Yes they do have a different attitude and better coaching. But the talent wasn't there and attitude without talent means they would still not be good even with an attitude.

    I'm so glad they Ersery, Andrews they are young guys that are looking to make names for themselves unlike Green, Mason etc ...

    There was at least one 2nd and 15 as a result of a penalty. But it was definitely not what we came to expect last year.
