I've been an outspoken critic of our Offensive Line, and I continue to think they are underperforming, but what I've been noticing is that there seem to be a lot of teams struggling with the O-lines. I watched the Niners-Packers game today and both lines looked awful in pass protection.
The Niners allowed 6 sacks, the Packers 3. The Packers line looked worse than the stats would indicate, if you ask me. KC allowed 5 sacks, Minnesota allowed 7! Last week it looked like Matthew Stafford was getting rid of the ball after three steps back because he knew he would be under pressure.
Mark Schlereth made a comment on Brock and Salk about this phenomenon, and a lot of analysts are blaming this on the spread offense that is prevalent in college. I don't know what it is, but aside from the Cowboys, I'm not hearing much love for other O-lines around the league and I'm not seeing a lot that I like either.
