Give credit to the offensive line

Posted on 28. Sep, 2009 by in Eagles Related

You don’t see these guys in any of the stats, but they are truly the ones who set up all the stats. Kevin Kolb couldn’t have thrown for 300 yards if he didn’t have solid blocking up front. DeSean Jackson and Brent Celek couldn’t have had 100 yards receiving if the line didn’t give Kolb time to throw the ball.

The line had a lot of question marks around it this year. Both guard spots are being filled in by players who weren’t expected to start, as is the right tackle position. These guys have played tremendously and deserve some definite praise.

Winston Justice is a guy who many were skeptical about. He has filled in at the right tackle position and played extremely well. The line has given the quarterback good time this year and opened up some nice holes for the running backs to get through.

I’m very happy with the way the line has performed this year after being quite worried about how they’d hold up.

    I totally agree with you here. The offensive line has really played well these first couple of games. I think they could do a little bit better job on their run blocking but overall I’m still very happy with their performance thus far.

    And I think Heremanns comes back after the bye week?
