They were just weak up front. Summary: Try as they might, the Steelers can’t field a line that can pass protect and open up lanes. Full Season Weighted 1 CHI -26.8% 1 CHI -22.8% 2 SF -14.3% 2 DEN -17.4% 3 HOU -14.2% 3 … ** - denotes 2014 prospect. AP Defensive Rookie of the Year: Luke Kuechly. Stud: In the upcoming weeks or so we’re going to do a piece on how often (per second) Joe Thomas (+25.6) gives up pressure compared to the rest of the league. Nick Mangold and Brandon Moore played angry, while Austin Howard found his feet as an NFL tackle. That’s a horrible habit for an offensive tackle who earned his late benching. Dud: There’s no denying that Tyler Polumbus (-24.1) had some good days, but all too often he was the guy letting the line down. More league info Still, a line can only do so much to put skill players in position to do good things, and in that regard the Jets are sorely lacking. Passing Leader: Drew Brees, 5177 Yds. You can put him up against any player in the league and he’ll produce. The 245 combined sacks, hits and hurries they gave up were 32 more than any other team. Manhandled in the run game and treated like a turnstile in the passing game, he made life harder than it needed to be for his quarterback. PFFELO Ratings are PFF’s NFL power rankings based on weekly player grades in each facet of play. Dud: Whoever played center. The worst you can say is that Jonathan Goodwin is a Top 10 center, whereas the rest of the guys are Top 3 at their positions. Click below to find out our No.1 offensive line. However, in 2012 he was just a rookie who found out that the step up from college is steep. Stud: As is often the case, it’s the ever reliable Jordan Gross (+16.4) who continues to get the job done, even if his performance in Week 17 was the worst we’ve ever seen from him. Dud: You can get by with players like Shawn Lauvao (-7.3) when the rest of your line is so good. He was never meant to start, but he was so bad he gave backup left tackles a bad name. Stud: By his own admission, Eric Winston (+15.9) and the Chiefs fans didn’t exactly hit it off. Stud: You won’t be getting Anthony Castonzo (+7.2) confused with the top left tackles any time soon if he keeps playing like this, but unlike most of his peers he didn’t look out of place on an NFL field. They don’t work quite so well with their running backs. The downside is they failed to consistently impose themselves in the run game, and this is a big area for improvement. Dud: There was a close competition but ultimately the inability of Geoff Hangartner (-14.5) to get any push in the run game meant he was the way to go. Each year we present our list of the top offensive lines in football. Summary: They work well with their quarterback to ensure he’s largely given enough time to make plays in the pocket. They did, however, hold up well in pass protection, providing one less excuse for the play of Ryan Fitzpatrick. The run blocking was impressive, but as the 55 quarterback disruptions allowed show, he needs to get better in the passing game. Summary: Injuries destroyed a line that headed into the year with a chance at being one of the best units out there. While technically Saturday was his old self, excelling in pass protection, he just couldn’t get the job done in the run game and was subsequently benched. It’s broken down into three categories (Pass Protection, Run and Screen Blocking, and Penalties) and between them they give us an overall score which leads to the rankings. These power rankings are adjusted based on coach, quarterback and the market each season. His work in pass protection is what makes him a top tackle. When they finally realized starting Jeremy Trueblood wasn’t a good idea, Demar Dotson stepped up and played like the starter Trueblood never was in recent years. His athleticism is on the tape for all to see, in a way you don’t often imagine from men his size. Look for them to rebound. They made a big contribution in the running game while ensuring Eli Manning faced significantly less pressure. Unger consistently got movement in the run game and, while he doesn’t ‘wow' you in pass protection, he’s some player.

He gave up 14 quarterback disruptions in 2011, yet a year later would give up 19 in half as many games. The penalties aren’t ideal, but there are not many left tackles who can keep their quarterback upright and generate movement in the run game. They got strong play from all the guys who were penciled into start, but the problem came when rookies Allen and Donald Stephenson were forced into the lineup. Stud: He’s the best right guard in football and his name is Marshall Yanda (+24.2). Stud: I never thought I’d see the day where not only would J’Marcus Webb (-0.8) not be the weak link on this line, but also be the most consistent performer. Dud: Though he graded positively for the year, you’d likely want to see more push in the run game from Manny Ramirez (+3.0). Summary: Injuries hurt this line, which was something of a shame. The introduction of Alex Boone provided a huge boost, with Anthony Davis upping his game with better play next to them. The small consolation was Bobby Massie, who turned his performance around in the second half of the season, raising expectations going forward. No, we understand that the success a team has in running the ball or protecting the quarterback is more than just a reflection of the offensive line. The rest of the line? Dud: While he got better as the year went on, 58 combined sacks, hits and hurries are far too many from Jermon Bushrod (+1.5). And so it proved. Most teams would kill for any one of the guys the 49ers put out, yet they have five of them. Shame on the Chargers for putting him in that situation. Summary: Just good enough. Summary: Phenomenal. Stud: Football is a funny old business. The aforementioned Monroe and Uche Nwaneri. None stood out more than Quinn Ojinnaka (-9.5) before he was replaced in the lineup and then cut. Stud: He may be the least well known player on the line, but it’s about time people started to recognize how much of a find Brian De La Puente (+23.0) has been for the Saints. The investment in Steve Hutchinson was a bad one, though Fernando Velasco proved himself an upgrade at center.
