Statistically, our offensive line surrendered pressures and delivered pocket times on a even playing field with averages across the league.

That doesn't account for where the pressure is coming from though. Most of the time when a QB is under pressure he can step up in the pocket to avoid it. If the majority of the pressure is coming from the middle of the oline that's a severe problem and not one most NFL teams have issues with. There's a reason Tackles are paid more than Guards. It's a harder position to play and harder to pass block on the edge especially with the type of athletes that are lining up out there. Guards shouldn't struggle anywhere near where our OGs struggled in pass pro. It was historically bad. You can scheme and play around edge pressure. You cannot scheme and play around pressure that comes from up the middle on a consistent basis that will ruin any offensive scheme
