Pleasantly surprised how he's doing. Thought he sucked at first.

OL never gets enough credit, unless you're the old Hogs. But I do think our OL is overrated at pass protection. Griffin escapes so many sacks. We run so much, it sets up the play-action nicely. The plays themselves where our guys are actually run-blocking at the LOS, whether RG3 has the option or not, we really sell the playaction with how the line and backs move, more than other teams do. I think the coaches are doing a lot to protect an OL still shaky on pass pro.

Still, OMG at the holes the OL opened up last game. This could be the best OL we've had since the first half of '08.
