Either way, the whole OL argument is largely overblown. Look at the Steelers and Cards, their offensive lines were terrible this year. But, they have elite players at key positions to compensate for that. Who is the most dominant DL left in the playoffs, Hatoli Ngata? Again, overblown when you have elite players who can compensate. We lack elite players and an elite scheme.

At times Pitts oline was terrible but they've come together as of late. They are run blocking well, too.

Ngata is pretty good.

No disagreement on either point. My point was the whole mantra of 'linemen, linemen, linemen' is largely irrelevant without elite players at the other positions and vice versa, elite players at the other positions largely make having great linemen somewhat irrelevant.
