The great teams, the dynasties, and their offensive fronts.ġ. We track any outstanding Tight Ends and Fullbacks, but the 3-stud rule applies to the linemen only. If the worst that can happen is becoming the 2008-2010 Jets with their 4-2 playoff record… and if the price of great/dynastic team-building is a great offensive line… doesn’t it become a no-brainer to invest in your offensive line?įor our purposes: great offensive line means three or more pro-bowlers. The worst of the bunch were the Vermeil Chiefs (tops in total offense two years in a row) and the Mangold Jets (won four playoff games). However all made the playoffs all were very good. We found five six teams (so far) with great offensive lines who did not get to a Super Bowl. Of the twenty-three teams with great offensive lines, seventeen went to Super Bowl.

But his 175 incidents of douche-baggery prompted me to dig in and prove this thesis: Emmitt Smith is the least special running back in the HOF and owes all to his offensive line.Īfter looking at the Cowboys’ impressive o-line, I started looking for other great lines with a view toward seeing whether other running backs benefitted as magnificently. It was painfully obvious just through the eye-ball test that Emmitt Smith was the beneficiary of one of the greatest offensive fronts ever assembled. They’re why Emmitt Smith gets to append his signature with ‘HOF.’ A link to pro-football ass-hattery, yours for $800+.Īll of these blockers in front of Smith went to multiple pro-bowls, many all-pros, and Larry Allen is now in the Hall of Fame.
