offensive line humble after big win

good read. and they will only get better as the year goes on. The Jets game was won because of the Oline. IMHO

Nice article :up:

I was STRONGLY calling them out through the first two weeks. Glad they decided to finally listen to me :shifty:

Argue what you want about what it takes to win championships, but one thing always remains true, you have to have a dominant front O-line (.)
I would say that we are getting that :yes:

I guess there humble because of all the "humble pie" they all ate after the 6 sack buffalo game.

they are also humble, because every week is different ... get too confident and you get your face shot off ... they will have a few weeks, when they get burned with some match-ups - will always happen ... but all-in-all ... they are starting to perform very well, as many predicted it would take about the 1st 4 games to get it together ...

i'm glad that Garner is getting time, because we certainly need to be prepared for a Smiley injury ...

Grove has been a fortunate suprise despite a rough start.

I will agree with that, and I was adamently against the signing. Good thing I just sit at a desk and the Trifecta takes care of the football business :yes:

the Orca-5 will eat defense alive
as the offensive line goes, so goes the season

I would add Andrew Gardner and Shawn Murphy to that.
For the first time in forever, we have some serious promise in the depth. We are seeing the present and future of good things IMO.

What's great is that our team is based around this line. We've got one of, if not the, toughest most physical lines in the NFL. Now that they're starting to gel together it's just dangerous.

They've been consistent over the last few games in protecting the QB, and opening up the run. They really don't get enough praise for truly coming together as a unit and holding it down for this offense.

The contrast from how the oline is built to whats goin on behind them is facinating..

Traditional meets modern day...

Smashmouth meets wildcat = Smashcat.

The fact that this oline is doing their job in front of them while not worried about whats goin on behind them is so unique.

Its what makes us a Dangerous football team.

You were calling out the offensive line after the colts game?

This line will be together for years hopefully and will continue to improve. Its great to have a young line and not some guys looking at social security. Man , I am so glad Parcells and company made the offensive line a major priority.

I think Donald Thomas was the missing link last season in the playoffs. Man, they sure are looking good now! :D

i think we were missing a lot more then just a right guard with the way the ravens crushed us in the playoffs.

``If we can finish blocks up front, and give our two backs the opportunity to make plays, the sky's the limit because we have the best tandem,'' Smiley said.

``Obviously I'm biased, but you guys see how hard they run the football. Nobody wants to tackle those guys one-on-one in the open field. They just don't. We're very lucky to have two backs like that. All we've got to do is get in the way of somebody and they make something happen.''

That jazzes me!

Yeah, a Left guard and a Center too.
