What if I told You the Bears O-line is the 2nd best in the NFL?

[mbison]

That's a nice theory but this accounts for roll outs and moving pockets. So...no.

No it accounts for blocking. If fields isnt in the pocket and rolling out running 10 times a game. How is he getting sacked?? Learn footbal

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Because the coaching staff has done an excellent job of protecting them by rolling Fields outside of the pocket ever down. If they called plays where field’s simply dropped back to pass they would be the worst

Exactly. Its why you can't just read a stat line in the NFL and get the whole story - this isn't baseball.

You can't tell me we have the 2nd best line in the NFL when in back to back games we had Sam Mustipher doing his best impression of a Madden glitch and run to the sidelines on a snap without blocking a SOUL.

We all saw the OL this year. Have they improved? Sure. Can they reliably create a clean pocket? Not very often.

That's not what this is. Maybe read the methodology before criticizing it.

No, it takes roll outs into account. Many of Fields' sacks are because of him. I am a fan, but that is the reality.

What if I told you the bears are calling roll outs for both Justin fields and the o line. Some of the sacks are in fields for holding the ball too long, but to think the bears have the 2nd best o line in football is actually laughable. Do they have a single pro bowl player on this line? Did I see that some of these metrics have same mustipher as a top 10 center???? Lmao.

I’ve seen tackles throw mustipher into a guard and effectively lose the snap for himself and the guard.

except they weren't the worst when Trevor was dropping back now where they? against a top ranked pass rushing D no less.

Its Ok for the OL to be better the advertised, this need to throw every player not named Fields under the bus is dumb.

 

[dennehy]

I think they've improved quite a bit and are probably middle of the pack. There are lines like the Eagles, Cowboys, Chiefs, Lions that I would say are clearly better but they have been playing better in recent weeks. I think Jones turned a corner about a month ago which is huge for the franchise.

Wow so Trevor Siemeinemans one game played made the O line that good huh?

 

[legendxofxlink]

Braxton Jones has improved so much over the season.
Reiff is much better than Borom.
Whitehair/Jenkins have been avg to damn good

There’s a fucking black hole in the middle though. It sets up the play for failure from the snap.
The OL is only as good as the weakest link. Getsy has done a decent job at helping it out by keeping the RBs back to block, etc.

We’ve already been through this. Trevor dropped back 25 times, he was sacked twice, pressured 11 times, threw an int and only accounted for 10 points. It wasn’t a good game for the OL

Yeah but think about how valuable it was for Justin to sit and watch. The next week zero sacks. COINCIDENCE?

I'd almost make the argument for Tevin Jenkins. I'm trying to thing of several guards in the NFC that are clearly better.

Anyways. This group does not pass the eyeball test in pass protection. Nowhere near #2 IMO. Pretty good at run blocking.

"Our pass block win rate metric conveys the rate linemen can sustain their blocks for 2.5 seconds or longer."

11/25 passing attempts had pressures which includes the 2 sacks. 11/25 passing attempts equals 44%. The Dallas Cowboys have the league's highest pressure rate at 29.3%. The Bears as a team have a season pressure rate of 26.8%.

I am confused by your conclusions.

 

[Hawkeye.]

So some dork created a new “revolutionary” metric and out of nowhere the Bears have a top offensive line? Lol

The OP can’t possibly believe this right?

I read this espn story and it doesn't fit with what we see happen on the field. We see almost immediate pocket collapse

I would ask if you're in the adult industry and if you have a good/funny stage name.
