Are #70 and #68 the best rookie OG tandem in the NFL?

I'm still wondering how the huddle can go from "our O - Line is horrible & we need to draft/sign 4 new people to surround Kalil" to "Our O - Line is set for the future we just need to draft a LT" in just 1 game

Norwell and Turner have emerged. Pretty simple.

they've emerged after 1 game? Because before the saints game all I heard was trash talk about the o line. I'll wait to see a few good performances strung together to be convinced, not just this saints game.

 

They've actually played well the past two games. However, I feel most of the trash talk had to do with Amini and Chandler. Bell is still a turnstile, but can it even be doubted that he is better than Chandler?

Norwell has played well all season really and that has been acknowledged while he's on the field. Turner has gotten better as well. So they have emerged. I won't anoint them until they do it the next 3 games but it looks like the answer was on the roster.

    • I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.
    • The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
