I thought the pass blocking was solid... we only had 1 sack that wasnt a coverage sack... the other one stafford must have been standing for a good 4 seconds. Its hard to rate the run blocking because we do that against EVERY team. I'm more excited watching this Defense play than the offense, the way they work is a thing of beauty.

We haven't been able to run block for over 4-5 years. It really is a joke how horribly the Lions Management has ignored the offensive line. I too think we pass block well, but like I said, that's only 50% of their game.

Which of those o-lines is better than ours? I'm gonna say "NONE OF THE ABOVE". What's your answer?

 Re: Don't look now guys...
We can't run block because we don't have a fullback....How many teams really run good without one.
Look at the niners, ravens, jaguars, they got a fullback that leads the way. Our run blocking is not really the problem, the hole is there just there isn't anyone to pave the way for the back to finish the run.

While a FB might help, that's not the only reason the OLine has problems run-blocking; they have problems with it because the OLine is comprised of pass-blockers; tho they did just draft a run blocker in the 1st round, now he just has to get on the field.
