They had one last hurrah in the first half of 2008 and boy did they dominate. Maybe we could win a Super Bowl with JC playing behind a line like that who knows.

Overrated oline play for the last decade.

Except for Chris Samuels.

Agreed. There were very strong attributes among them but not a situation where all guys were good at all things. Our run game was largely based on Thomas, regardless of going right or left because he'd pull a corner to lead. He was the only truly superior run-blocker of the group IMO. Samuels was very good. Dock and Jansen pretty good. Rabach just average.

Similar story on pass-protection except that Samuels was the superior guy there.
