This dude is arguably the best you can get in terms of public OL evaluation.

This is awesome. Thank you for sharing this. I’m not totally in agreement with these ratings—definitely a lot of excuse-making for returning starters. It’s a good baseline.

People will always blame the OL; it happens with every fan base in the league. If everyone stays healthy, there’s no reason to believe that this can’t be at least an average line.

I think Fro and Adams are probably overrated here and Sem is a little underrated. Door is wide open for someone to be better than Wilkinson. I’m surprised we haven’t heard more about Frye in camp.

i think wilkinson doesn't last long - his injury history suggests he might miss some games - he's not the future at the position

i thought Frye was pretty decent in his play last year

the offensive tackle that is being talked up is Jayden Williams

I think K9 is talking about the offensive line coach, Justin Frye. The tackle is Josh Fryar.
The O-line looked really good Thursday night. I was impressed with the whole group and I think you have to give some credit to Frye. The line was also playing pretty well at the end of last year, and they were doing it with mostly backups.

We didn’t break 21 points in any of our last four games to end last season.

Well, I'm thinking with our 2nd and 3rd stringers playing against the other team's starters just might have contributed to that...come on "stat man", what's going on?
You're better than that.....writers block? kids going back to school or haven't gone back to school yet? Get a bad haircut??........LOLOLOL. Sorry, couldn't resist, happy hour...woo woo..

Based on these scores and considering 160 starters (32 teams x 5 starting linemen)…
Wilkinson 30
Adams 13
Froholdt 09
Seumalo 14
Johnson 14

Total is 80…which puts us right in the middle (average).

Need to upgrade RT to be above average

Just curious...did you actually watch the games or just looking at stats.

I honestly don’t recall but if you’d like to support the assertion that the OL was good despite DIRE RB YPC averages and terrible offensive point output In happy to hear it.
