I even heard some Kwame Harris comparisons for Anthony Davis after his rookie season. smh

I will always treasure those years that I dedicated to playing "bench." Playing organized football gave me an understanding of how line play works, and just how dominating the line play was tonight. Seeing Clay go down under Iupati like he did (it was like Clay hit a brick wall), just brought a smile to my face.

That will come out on game film. You won't see it on any highlight shows. But it was just a huge, huge, huge play.

Reminded me of this Iupati college clip where he absolutely destroyed a blitzing Maulaga. His small school dominance most definitely transitioned to the pros

I know troy A loves our line and he may be right about how good it is in run protection but they still have pass protection issues in my opinion

staley is nfc's probowl starting left tackle.

And second-team all pro!

It's not just the line. It's the whole offense.

The thing I love about this line, they don't let nobody f**k with anybody on the team.

Our line is beast!! The scary part for opposing teams is that they are still improving. Look at the time Kaep had against the Bears, and Packers. Still some work to do in blitz pickup but dang when they are on their game they ARE the best line in football!

Funny, i was just thinking about this as i'm watching the game again and focusing on the line...Wow, it was very impressive! Our line is awesome and we have some future potential with Looney and Kilgore coming up. I don't understand how the entire NFL fan knows that games are won in the trenches and McClueless would never focus on it in the draft.

They are playing awesome, but as already mentioned I think we need to improve our Centre.

Just for the record, Balke didn't make all those picks. Scot McCloughan was basically our GM from 2005 to 10.

Not to take anything away from Baalke either. His first draft in 2011 is clearly one for the ages. Even just about every FA pick up has worked out well. People can criticize him for the braylon edwards &/or brandon jacobs pick ups, but we never really risked much in terms of $$.
