Pittsburgh is pretty awful on the OL, but then again, they are pretty terrible on offense.
Indianapolis seems like the exception to the rule here.
I agree, if you can be good in the trenches, the wins will continue to come. Getting good and staying good in the trenches seems to be the hard part: every team strives for it, but a lot of teams just can't accomplish it no matter how many resources they invest in it (Oakland).
I definitely think we could get closer if we invest more in it. Also, Blache needs to give them a fighting chance, and use the blitz as a change up instead of a defensive scheme in and of itself. We might actually be good on the DL, but it's tough to get pressure on the QB when you blitz as often as the Redskins do.
