Honest Q. How do you expect an offensive line to perform in the run game when it faces more 8 men boxes than anyone else?

To me getting consistent positive yards and giving the backs breathing room is a sign of a good line. In 2017 the Jags rank top 3 in % of positive yards, top 10 in yards before tackle point, and top 5 in yards per carry Vs 8 men boxes. Also ran for more yards than anyone else per game.

That's the sign of a top 10 run blocking line. Sure there have been ugly games , particularly with injuries and Fournettes ankle but over the course of the whole year it's been elite.

And I still think we could do with one or two new starters next year.
