I can't believe they still have Seattle at no. 1 after they lost Hutch.

Nice, top ten! :grin:
I have to say I agree with most of that list.

This is always good to see. :grin:

27. Green Bay
The arrival of a zone blocking scheme in Green Bay is good news. Starting two rookie guards around a new center isn't. Mike McCarthy could turn this unit around in time, but 2006 looks like a transitional year at best.

"Pork Chop" Womack is a pretty good player in his own right; he'll fill in just fine for Hutch. Continuity is a big part of OL success and these guys have been together as a unit for as long as anyone in the League. I think the ranking is right on the mark.

I know it doesn't mean anything, but I like being ahead of the Colts. 9 is good.

no way should seattle be number one. they lost the best OG in the game. chris gray the starting RG is ancient and will prlly need to be replaced by one of their younger draft picks..and there are better tackle combos than walter and locklear imo..also the C tobeck i think is a bit overrated..he got man handled and thrown around like a rag doll in the playoffs

Awesome. We're in the top 10 and I agree.

**pepper 0n moss** · 07-15-2006, 08:15 AM

remember, his rankings are based on o-line alone, not the team as a whole, so even though he placed us within the top ten, i wouldn't think too much of it...

and he loses all of his credibility within the first few paragraphs with this idiotic statement:

"...Seattle had more success running to the right side behind Sean Locklear and Chris Gray last season."

uhh... no. last i checked, the vast majority of shaun's runs (75%+) were behind hutch and walt.

**Vikes_King** · 07-15-2006, 06:15 PM

if we were ranked anywhere above the middle last year i would have laughed

i agree with the placement now =) (having hicks and hutchinson and our line isnt full of injuries kind of helps huh?)
