[QUOTE="sufandu, post: 2674663, member: 874"]
Running backs running behind dominant offensive lines don't average 3 ypc even when running the clock out. 6 out of the 17 carries Neal had after Dungey came back in were for 4 yards or more with the lomgest being 6 yards. We lost the ball on downs with a negative run on 4th and goal. That is less than dominant. Dominant offensive lines break the will of lesser teams by busting out consistant 5 yard chunks to end games not multiple 1-3 yard runs with an occasional 4 yard run. Dominant offensive lines don't look completely different when running blocking based on which QB is in the game. Dominant offensive lines average more yards per carry when the defense knows what's coming, so all of the qualifiers you want to use are meaningless to me. As I said before, it was a good performance by the oline, not a dominant one. Notice, I didn't say they were bad as you seem to think I am. They were good, not dominant.

I feel like we've been so bad here for so long we've forgotten what it looks like to be really really good. I watch other teams play. I know what dominating the LOS looks like. We did not do that. I hope we can grow from this good performance and be great by the middle of the season. If Dungey is gonna play against BC we need that to happen.
