Clearly Foles and the offense (and great play calling) won them their first championship. The Pats OL looked like men among boys all day long. I so badly want Russ to have that kind of line!
And what's crazy is, Pats o-line really isn't that 'talented' either. I put far more stock into coaching and scheme fit than their actual ability, especially how they can just plug and play. Brady looked like a different QB when their OL coach retired, he un-retires and suddenly Brady has 5 seconds to throw every pass again.
Russ will never be conventional and certainly has a tendency to sack himself sometimes, but both QB's had so much time to just stand in a U-shaped pocket and scan the field. It didn't matter what coverage was called, someone eventually was open. Just give him a lite version of that and I'll be happy.
