That is where the game was won, IMO. The Oline created the conditions for Sanchez to have multiple opportunities to make plays and score TDs, and steam-rolled the Colts in the 2nd half. Like the stat they threw up during the game on the Oline demographic. Other than Woody, who is 33, has a lot of mileage and injury concerns, we're very young. If Vlad develops into the RT the FO thought he could be when taken with a 2nd round pick-- we're going to be good for a while.
If Slauson was a little quicker pulling on that screen to LT could have been a TD in the first quarter but overall they played an incredible game. They're the reason we won
Played on the Colts side of the LOS all game and didn't let much pressure get to Sanchez either - they were definitely key.
Yet this Oline according to NFL Network wasnt considered a top five according to their little poll for protection award or whatever it was.
Getting Woody back for the playoffs was huge, Slauson getting the much needed playoff experience as a 1st year starter/2nd year player is big time, Moore is becoming one of the most productive RG's in franchise history, and as we all know, both Ferguson and Mangold are blue chip, all pro types of talents. I'm loving this offensive line as of right now. Shonn Greene and L.T will have monster games against the Patriots next Sunday, and oh yeah, #21 has a burning hatred for NE! Our offensive line dominated a really good Colts D-line last night; there is nothing the Patriots front 7 can do, to stop these hogs from dominating the game. Jets rush for over 220 yards next Sunday. No question about it.
