In retrospect, think that people will realize how good the WF OL has been the last couple of years. There are 3 WF OL in the NFL from the last 3 seasons, and Tom will join them (possibly others). WF's scheme often leaves the 5 lineman alone with no help (other than one back), and no team consistently takes shorter QB dropbacks than WF. A large portion of Hartman's passes are designed to be within a yard of the LOS. Also, the slow mesh invites defenses to crash hard into the middle of the line and asks the lineman to hold their blocks longer than most offenses. If the line can hold, as we have seen the offense produces big plays down the field. When it doesn't the QB and/or the RB get blown up. FWIW, think that the WF OL play has been behind only the receivers in talent and on-the-field performance over the past 5 years of offensive dominance. Funny to me how people point out the Clemson game as an example of how the OL play wasn't always great. No team scored more points on Clemson this year than WF (27); since 2018, the most points any team has scored at Clemson is 28. The favorite in the tonight's NC game scored 10 (3 on offense) against Clemson. Want every aspect of WF football to improve, but the OL has been consistently solid for awhile. Sometimes, WF faces opponents with NFL level talent, and they are going to make plays against WF.
