This bears out the often asserted opinion that offensive lineman are the hardest to assess/project.

 

[SmokeyHound]

coaching does it all... there were none who were number one among their positions. it is all coaching

 

[SmokeyHound]

Coaching is the difference.

Aaron Hernandez?

Regardless of that, isn't it possible that some of the assesments were off?

Unless it mistook your post, and you were talking about OL.

EA was like 7th ranked Pro-Style on Rivals if I remember correctly. Brent Shaefer was @ same x2 threat as well.

Gosh, that was a fun year when they both rotated. People always accuse CPF of being too conservative, but those two rooks shook things up. Like facing (albeit weaker) Mike Vick one play and Peyton the next from a scheme standpoint. Oh well.
