Again half truth, PFF that takes into account pass protection and the running game had them ranked at 22.  I do agree they were decent at running the football but mediocre is the best it got.

Continued to prove what I said...

The difference between the 14th and 22nd ranked OL on that list isn't big at all. Which puts us squarely in the middle of the pack range. You could easily lump a bunch of those groups together and/or switch some of those teams around and you wouldn't know any difference. PFF always makes a list though and go by whatever their grading system is (which has proven to be questionable plenty). it's just one of many grading systems different websites/people will use.

They aren't a top 10 unit and they aren't a bottom 10 unit. They're somewhere between in the big picture of things, with a bunch of other teams.

Remember, more teams struggle to protect the passer in this league than not. There's far better athletes and more of them on DL/OLB who get after the QB than there are quality OL guys. OL play league wide has been on the decline in recent years as a whole.
