New England Patriots Offensive Line Projected Best in 2013-2014
Rotoworld recently put together their projected list of best offensive lines in the NFL for the upcoming season using rankings from Pro Football Focus and Football Outsiders, and the New England Patriots have been given the #1 spot. The Pats o-line has five returning starters and a potentially better right guard in Marcus Cannon replacing incumbent Dan Connolly for next year, so it should not come as too much of a surprise that the Patriots are reclaiming the #1 spot on Rotoworld.
An interesting fact: The San Francisco 49ers are ranked #2 on this list. The 49ers have a higher ranked run blocking offensive line; however, the Patriots pass blocking edge over the 49ers makes them a much more formidable line in a pass-heavy NFL. Although, Colin Kaepernick could be an equalizing factor because of his ability to escape the rush. #1 vs. #2 in offensive lines according to Rotoworld has a high possibility to be a Super Bowl preview, is this causation or correlation? Either way, I hope the rankings stay this way at the end of the 2013-2014 season.
