This Line is Offensive

How does a true football fan distinguish himself from the legions of pretenders? In the old days it was simple; you were considered a football expert if you discussed wide receivers. But that was then. The passing game (and the world) has changed. Now, when stats, drive charts, and other data is but a click away, how does the true fan showcase his knowledge at the water cooler? Talking about quarterbacks, running backs, or members of the other so-called "skill positions," is old school. The new-millennium expert discusses... Offensive Linemen.

Why offensive lines? Football, more than any of the other American sports, is a team game. Even a team possessing a brilliant quarterback is stuck if they lack a strong offensive line, good receiving corps, and a solid running back. Unlike baseball, which is often viewed as a series of one-on-one matchups, every player must be present for every play on the gridiron. Rarely in football do you see players who carry a sub-par team; this stands in stark contrast to basketball, where such an occurrence is commonplace. (Garnett's Timberwolves, Jordan's Wizards, and Wade's Heat come to mind.)

Offensive linemen must do their job correctly on every play in order for their team to succeed. Whether by stopping the pass-rush, or blocking on a running play, every down depends on the actions of the O-line.

However, the line is only as strong as its weakest link. This is why we cannot grade individual linesmen, but rather assess an entire team.

Looking over the stat sheets on Pro Football Reference (an invaluable resource), one might think that no stats exist to measure the contributions of the offensive line. However, this is not the case.

Think about it; what are the duties of an offensive linesmen?

1) To block for the running backs
2) Prevent the quarterback from getting sacked.

Therefore, we can grade offensive lines by how well they accomplish each of these two feats. We can rank each team with only two stats: Rushing Yards Per Attempt and Sacks Per Attempt.

As part of their seminal work The Hidden Game of Football, Bob Carroll, John Thorn, and Pete Palmer created a grading system for each facet of the offensive line.

Rush Grade = 120*(RYA / 5.75)
Sack Grade = 1.20*(100 - (4*(Sk% - 1.7)))
Total Grade = (Rush Att / Total Att) * Rush Grade + (Pass Att / Total Att) * Pass Grade

This grade makes it easier to compare run-protection and pass-protection. Also, it gives us a simple score that we can use to easily answer the age-old question "Who is the best?"

Let's take a second to learn the names of the players on the five best O-lines of 2009:

#1 Tennessee Titans:
C Kevin Mawae
G Eugene Amano*
G Jake Scott*
T Michael Roos*
T David Stewart*
*On the roster for 2010

Notes: Look for Chris Johnson to have another huge year rushing behind 2009's best line.

#2 New Orleans Saints:
C Jonathan Goodwin*
G Carl Nicks*
G Jahri Evans*
T Jermon Bushrod*
T Jon Stinchcomb*

Notes: Every piece of the Super Bowl winning line returns for what should make a fascinating 2010 season. Drew Brees should receive some excellent protection next year.

#3 New England Patriots
C Dan Koppen*
G Logan Mankins*^
G Stephen Neal*
T Matt Light*
T Sebastien Vollmer*
^ Pro Bowl Selection

Notes: It's a Belichick team, what do you expect? Unless you live in New England, you probably won't recognize any of these names, but this group made sure Tom Brady was one of the most protected quarterbacks of 2009.

#4 Indianapolis Colts
C Jeff Saturday*
G Mike Pollack*
G Kyle DeVan*
T Charlie Johnson*
T Ryan Diem*

Notes: In his record third MVP season, Peyton Manning was the best protected quarterback of 2009.

#5 Dallas Cowboys
C Andre Gurode*
G Kyle Kosier*
G Leonard Davis*^
T Doug Free*
T Marc Columbo*

Notes: Only the Titans and Cowboys had a grade of 100+ in both categories, rushing and passing.

Football - How To Know If You're A Football Fanatic

Everyone knows that NFL football is the most popular sport in America. For that matter one could argue a case that football is the most popular sport in the world. It makes no difference what time of year it is to any football fan. True football fans live for any news on the NFL year round. Here is an amusing list of how to know if you're really a true football fanatic or not.

NFL Pre-Season Football

You know you're a real football fanatic if you watch every minute of televised NFL pre-season football. It doesn't matter to you if the games don't count in the standings. This is football! How else will you ever know if that street free agent quarterback from Southwest Montana State will become the next Joe Montana?

NFL Regular Season

This is what it's all about for the football fanatics. No one should plan anything that would interrupt you from watching the big games. With the remote in one hand and plenty of food and drink in the other, it's game time!

Clothing and Apparel

Any real NFL fan is going to have their favorite teams clothing on. This must have list includes hats, shirts, ties, socks, shorts, sweatshirts, winter parkas and pajamas.

Souvenirs

This is where football fans get really serious about their teams. You must have an autographed team football on display. You will also need to have an autographed authentic NFL football jersey of your favorite player hanging on the wall in a frame. Other popular souvenir items include glasses and cups with your team's logo on them. Optional items that most football fans have may include trash-cans, clocks, lamps, outdoor displays, shot glasses, posters, golf balls and bag, bumper decals, grill covers and license plate frames, all with your team logo on them.

Fantasy Football

When you're not spending time in front of the TV or computer watching an NFL football game, then you're playing fantasy football in local league. You constantly go over the stats and try to make trades to help your team win.

Computer

Don't forget to have your favorite football team's logo on your computer screen saver.

TV

You know you're a true NFL football fanatic when you go out and buy a new TV for the Super Bowl. You want to be sure you can have a new big screen for your party before the big game.

Super Bowl

The best day of the year! It's finally come time for the biggest football event of the year. You know you're a true fan if you sit and watch all 12 hours of the pre-game show. Nothing short of a medical emergency will keep you from missing a minute of the action, no matter whether your favorite team is involved or not.

Others know you're a football fanatic by the size of the Super Bowl party you have every year. This is your big moment and you're not going to blow it. Even after the big game is over, all is not lost. The season is not over just because the Super Bowl ended. You know that in a week the Pro-Bowl game will be on!
