2013 PFF Offensive Line Rankings

[NC_Skins]

Our line was much better than what people gave them credit for.


3. Washington Redskins (16th)
PB: 4th, RB: 8th, PEN: 3rd

Stud: An All-Pro-(or at least second team)-like performance from Trent Williams (+38.3). He has moments that make you smack your head, but by and large he’ll slow down elite pass rushers and has the kind of athleticism that generates movement whatever scheme you’re running.

Dud: Too many bad days for Chris Chester (-5.5) who continues to baffle with his streaky play.

Analysis: This ranking won’t please many Redskins fans who see the line as the route of their problems. The truth is the Shanahans had the zone blocking scheme working perfectly with there regularly huge cutback lanes for their backs to work with. Much is made of the hits Robert Griffin III took as if every single one of them must be the responsibility of the line. Well RG3 himself was charged with 10 of those sacks (more than any other player on the team) as the team gave whoever was quarterback ample time to get the job done. The big question now is what Jay Gruden intends for this line and whether he’ll move to a more power based scheme that could put a number of jobs on the line.


Your QBs (both of them) can't hold the ball as long as they did and not expect to get sacked. Robert and Kirk were responsible for a good deal of those sacks this year and I'm not the only one that noticed this.
