    Browns O-line doesn't seek praise but has full appreciation of those closest to it

    The big men up front have been the foundation for the Browns’ dominance in both the run game and passing attack

    The Browns' 2020 offense has put itself in the company of one of the best units the franchise has ever assembled.

    Cleveland's 152 rushing yards per game is the most by a Browns team since 1978. The team's 43 scrimmage touchdowns are already tied for sixth-most in franchise history, and the 368 total points this year are seventh-most by a Browns team.

    Those numbers are a credit to the run game and passing attack, which have battered defenses over the course of the Browns 10-win season and recent 5-1 stretch.

    But both of those units owe a large chunk of their success to a group that's easy to overlook on a winning football team: the offensive line.

    No Browns position group arguably has been more consistent than the five big men up front. They've ascended into one of the top-ranked offensive lines in the NFL, and their ability to protect the pocket and steamroll through any defensive line has been the true backbone behind the Browns' offensive success.

    "They are always on point when it comes to everything," offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt said last week. "They are always prepared. That is a group of guys up front I am really proud of."

    Coaches and players have raved about the offensive line all season, and their play has always backed them up. Guards Wyatt Teller and Joel Bitonio have been ranked among the best linemen in football, according to Pro Football Focus, while tackles Jedrick Wills Jr. and Jack Conklin and center JC Tretter have marvelously managed their week-by-week assignments.

    In pass protection, they've helped give quarterback Baker Mayfield a league-leading 2.7 seconds of time in the pocket. That's up from 2.3 seconds in the pocket last season, which ranked 27th in the league. The unit has allowed just one sack since Week 13, the fewest in the NFL.

    In the run game, there's plenty of stats to show their worth. Running backs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt are the only running backs on the same team this season to have over 790 rushing yards. The Browns have rushed for 100 or more yards in all but two games this season, and the offensive line has made several highlight reel-worthy blocks that have led to chunk plays on the ground.

    "I love those boys up front," Mayfield said. "It's unbelievable. We have a great group that is extremely focused."

    That '67 Roosevelt team was ridiculous. 

    The '64 undefeated Ravenna team was damn good too, with Don Nottingham. 

    Yes.   As you may know, both KR and  Ravenna were in the same conference as Norton where I went.   I had a bit of an older friend who played either DL or LB  for Norton at the time Nottingham played for Ravenna...and also  when Larry Csonka played for Stow.   He said that Csonka was a cream puff compared to Nottingham to try to tackle.

    Yes, go there.  This is the OLine thread.  Kendall Lamm however has played some WR for us a couple of weeks or so ago...

    Well....certainly  you are a fucking turd....and a dickhead, I guess that means we are equal in our knowledge of the game. 

    And no one commanded that you had to participate in a discussion that I was having with Dutch and a few others about Glory Days.  Smacks of envy.

    I can only surmise that he couldn't relate, and somehow felt diminished as a human being because of it.   

    Or, maybe, since we were talking about  Ravenna, Kent Roosevelt and Norton,  he is from like either  Coventry, Springfield, Ellet, Tallmadge, or Stow....the other teams in that league at the time that I think the first 3 schools beat up on.   At least Norton did, as we went  9-2 and 8-3 in my  junior and senior years in HS  (and I know we lost to non-conf. foes Wadsworth and Copley for some of those losses, so we cleaned up pretty well in the Metro League those years.  Though I know we had one loss in there to Springfield, and I think another to KR sometime).   The Campana/White/Boykin/Nottingham times were all like my freshman/soph years.

    I'm thinking he made a mistake and accidentally quoted the wrong thing.

    He could have just admitted that instead of going all PMS on us.
