I don't disagree with this, but I think I'm just more comfortable commenting on what's going on with the offensive line, just because the results there are easier for me to quantify. On the defensive side of the ball, while a more educated eye would be able to give a better evaluation, it's hard for me to separate things. Are teams running the ball better because of the defensive line or because of the linebackers? Is the middle of the field open for the passing game because of the linebackers or the safeties? There are lots of people on this board who have a good handle on what's going on on the defensive side of the ball, but I'm not one of them.
