Guest Negatorris Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 20. Atlanta Falcons (12th)PB = 24th, RB = 21st and PEN = 1st Part of why Matt Ryan is having an MVP year is that he’s handling pressure and overcoming a line that isn’t making running the ball all that viable. For years now the Falcons have been a team that have beat up on weaker fronts, but if their latest effort against New Orleans is anything to go by, even those days are behind them. But hey, they rarely give up penalties.These are rankings from a few weeks ago. Can't imagine they haven't gone down even further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarterback Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I think we have possibly the single weakest OL in the NFL; one that was masked eariler in the season and in recent games the mask has been ripped off.The single most difficult aspect of being a pocket passing QB is interior preseure in your face and Matt Ryan gets more of this than possibly any other QB in the NFL leaving him with zero time for mid range routes to develop.

Sun Tzu 7 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Oh we have major issues on the o-line and it starts in the interior but the problem we have is who are we going to replace them with?It's not like we can give Hawley a shot because he's suspended.

paulitik Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Eli's line was bad through the year last year, and then started to gel on their playoff run. I don't have the same faith in ours.Matt has been much better this year of making things out of nothing. Let's hope he can do what Eli did last season.As bad as our line is, and it's total garbage, I don't think anyone can compare to how bad Philly's and Chicago's are.

daybumper Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 and the Giants struggled during the regular season last year with that OLand the playoffsSANTA CLARA – The beating the 49ers gave Eli Manning last Jan. 22 was written all over the quarterback's once-white jersey.The 49ers hit him 18 times, including six sacks, the most Manning had absorbed in any game last season. By the end of the NFC Championship Game, grime speckled his face, his left shoulder was a dingy gray, and his left wristband and arm were caked in Candlestick Park mud.Read more here: http://www.sacbee.com/2012/10/14/4909969/eli-mannings-toughness-impresses.html#storylink=cpy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muskokas finest © Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Rookie Russell Wilson seemed to do OK behind his poorly ranked O-line, against a front that gave Ryan fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
