Offensive Line Protection Index

I heard about this on the score and found the thing online. take a look, Bears are currently ranked...(take a guess)... last. Teams with good offenses are ranked higher for the most part.

Might provide more insight if it actually explained what the index number represented.

yeah im ganna look for some more stuff on this.

I have no idea if the 'index' is worth a crap, I mean it's from New York life insurance. But I do find it funny (and net necessarily inaccurate) that on a 100 point scale, we're 10 points lower than the next worst team.

Oh and there's no way the Packers line is 13th. It baffles me how we get criticized for our line (and it's deserved) and they get none. They're pretty damn porous.

there are plenty of bad olines this year whats up with that? Talent or defense? Even before the injuries Steelers had on their oline it was sub par. Giants is clearly injuries. But what is the Cowboys excuse? Hell even Colts oline has looked pretty crap this year.

I don't need an index to know the Bears OL is bad. I can't imagine anyone being surprised with them ranking at the bottom.

Agreed! Considering the performance to date of Olin Kruetz and the 4 Matadors (Ole!!!!) it's pretty hard to consider them as being anything else but at the bottom of a ranking of Oline's. If they're not the absolute worst then they're damn close to it.

i woudlnt even put our line on that list because their just that bad. im convinced their not football players

Williams needs to move back to LT. OMH leads the league in sacks and hurries and Chris is looking better every single week. I see absolutely zero reason why OMH should remain at LT. Fuck consistency and cohesion when consistency and on cohesion equals well below average.
