The Greatest Position Never Seen: The Offensive Line
Published: December 23, 2009
No Comments
The greatest position in football is the offensive line.
There. I said it.
It may not be a Hall of Fame position. Or a sexy position.
But, it is the most important.
Think about it.
Without a solid offensive line, the following can’t happen:
- Your quarterback can’t get off a good throw.
- Your running back and fullback can’t get a hole to run through.
- Your punter will get blocked every time.
- Your kicker will get blocked and never hit the field goal because it’s too far away.
“We are offensive linemen, part of the O-line. Five guys working as a unit within the football team to establish the tempo and demeanor of the game. Our job description doesn’t sound fun, interesting, or flashy, nor should it. Those who know football know the game is won or lost in the trenches, along the line. We start the play and if we are good we finish it. We are the O-Line, we set the examples, we “LEAD FROM THE FRONT.”
— Grey Ruegamer(Offensive lineman for the New York Giants)
Well said. True too.
“The heart and soul of any good football team is its offensive line. There’s no position that requires more discipline or technique than offensive lineman. Success as an offensive football team hinges on their ability to control the line of scrimmage.”
–Scouts, Inc. ESPN.com(For Active.com January 16, 2006)
“ If you are versatile, tough and smart you will be a successful offensive lineman.”
— Grey Ruegamer(Offensive lineman for the New York Giants)
The only time you hear about offensive linemen is when they commit penalties or when Jon Gruden or John Madden comments on how bad they’re performing. Let’s give them the positive attention they deserve.
This Christmas Day, be thankful for your family, your health, and offensive linemen.

This slideshow shows who you should play and who you should sit. Hope you enjoy it. You better, because this took me a long time. By the way, watch #12 and #18 duke it out on Sunday night. Which by far is the best matchup this week. Too bad I can’t watch it. I have a 9 o’ clock bedtime.
Enjoy!
Whine, Whine, Whine! Jay Cutler, What a Baby!

New level of extreme babydom: ACHIEVED.
Jay Cutler. What a jerk. After a preseason 27-20 loss to the Bills, Cutler talked about one of his INTs on a pass to Devin Hester.
Here’s what he said:
“Devin is more of a go-get-it guy. He’s not really a back-shoulder, jump-up-and-get-it [guy] and…you learn from it. You make some mistakes. It’s a preseason game.”
Yeah, Jay. Blame it on your wide guy. You just got here. Give it a rest.
New guys don’t dish out that kind of bullcrap.
Jay, why don’t you learn from your mistakes?
