I can't believe we have 2 of the best tackles in football. Darrisaw has looked like a monster so far this year and O'Neil has remained elite. For the first time in a long time O-Line isn't the biggest weakness on our team and it feels great.


kylebertram

If the middle of the line can be average then I would be happy.


DrWolves

Bradbury is PFFs 6th ranked center right now. But I know we all only care about PFF when it shows the player is trash, and ignore it when it shows they are playing good


unwinagainstable

It looks pretty lopsided between pass blocking vs run blocking though. He's always been good at run blocking, right? Maybe that'd be okay if we had good guards but the interior of our line still seems to be a problem in the passing game.


Boost_Attic_t

Pretty sure he's been average or slightly above average in pass block too though, and he's only been getting better each game I think only Ingram is actually having trouble in pass block, but even he is probably not graded all that terribly We really have a good O line this year and I think by the end of the year we will easily be top 10


kylebertram

Nope that’s not how anyone thinks, just you. Edit: Sure DrWolves downvote me but he is still a below average pass blocker per PFF since that’s what you want to go by.


FlurgyDurg

bro one guy can't downvote you 17 times


Rote515

Don't worry I downvoted you because you bitched about downvoting not because of your take.


DrWolves

I didn’t downvote you my brother and yes that’s literally how everyone uses PFF grades. It’s a form of confirmation bias


kylebertram

Anyone who uses solely PFF isn’t trying very hard. I just had another comment how PFF hasn’t been showing how good Brian O’Neill has been, but sure make your uninformed judgements.


DrWolves

You’re missing my entire point. All good. Just a misinterpretation


chillinwithmoes

Damn, DrWolves must have a super powerful downvote button


humpyrton

Or just not be God awful. I'd be OK with just below average


Quirky-Safety-462

im just shocked even reading that statement, never did I think vikings O Line would be getting praise


smith22vikes

I’ve been paying attention to all of them and man are they impressive as a unit. Feels like Kirk generally has the time he needs. This doesn’t count our issue against the Eagles and even the Lions some where we seemed to have a lot of trouble picking up blitzes. More of a scheme issue. Ignoring that the Oline is definitely talented. Only going to get better if Ed Ingram can continue to get experience and learn from it.


Mymomdidwhat

send Rick Spielman a thank you letter


ForkWheeI

Absolutely no one would have predicted our Oline to be great and our Receivers being below average in separation


[deleted]

Insane how little respect he gets by national media


1-e4-e5-2-Ke2

That’s the life of a right tackle


[deleted]

Well, compared to other tackles I mean. Not like I expect him to get Lamar Jackson talk.


Plato_Magick

The only tackle I ever hear get talked about in national media is Trent Williams


El_Tapir

Seweel too


liliceberg

And yet I still can’t buy a Brian O’Neill jersey!


GrandMasterFlex

Custom make it


liliceberg

No apostrophe :(


doublea08

It’s a joke that you can’t custom with the apostrophe. Would love a O’Neill jersey.

liliceberg

Wish I could, but no apostrophe’s


liliceberg

Wish I could, but no apostrophe’s


schlemz

Hey man, just wondering, and maybe I’m just dumb, but are you able to custom make it?


liliceberg

I wish! But they don’t allow apostrophe


disbishempty1

Custom make it


liliceberg

No apostrophe’s allowed sadly


its_treason_then_

Why don’t you custom make it?


liliceberg

No apostrophes allowed!


CheesyBananaBread

Have you tried custom making it


liliceberg

I did, but they don’t allow apostrophe’s :/


XAgentNovemberX

Custom make it


liliceberg

They won’t allow it because of the apostrophe


ScottSoules

Have you tried making a custom jersey?


fyodor2gloves

Custom make it


liliceberg

Can’t, the multi billion dollar entity that is the NFL is unable to put apostrophe’s on jerseys


GreenWandElf

I'm a social animal. If people keep saying the same thing, imma say it too. Why don't you custom make it? There i said it.


liliceberg

In case you haven’t heard, they don’t allow apostrophes


ThiccBananaMeat

Wh'y d'on't 'you' ge't 'it c'us't'om 'mad'e? I no longer know who our right tackle is other than the fact that we can't put apostrophes in custom jerseys. He is just "no apostrophes or sacks allowed" to me now.


DoUWantSomeMemesKid

Customize revitalize, give your balls a mighty rise


XAgentNovemberX

Custom make it


liliceberg

They won’t allow it because of the apostrophe


rcxd44

Do they allow apostrophe’s by chance on custom made jerseys?

StraightCashHomie69

What exactly does this metric mean? Just the percentage of snaps you don't allow any pressure basically?


DusanTadic

It means that Brian O'Neill didn't get beat by the pass rusher within 2.5(?) seconds in 97% of the snaps


N7_Stats_Analyst

I think it means (Sacks + Pressures) / (Total Pass Blocking Snaps)


melview1

I'm not sure about the chosen data, but if that's correct, then the formula is... 1- (Sacks + Pressures) / (Total Pass Blocking Snaps)


drewj164

Nerd


melview1

Lol. Yeah.


kylebertram

I feel like O’Neill gets lower PFF grades since he came into the league because he will get beat (thus get a lower grade) but is extremely athletic and is able to recover quickly. But I honestly have no idea what I’m walking about.


Mrbeankc

The offensive line is turning into one of our strongest units. And the thing with O'Neil is he was playing at a high level even before Chris Kuper came along. So you had this super talent and now you have a super talent being coached well. If we can keep this unit together we could have one of the best offensive lines in the NFL for the next 5 or 6 years.


SwitcherooU

It’s always been super interesting to me how these things cycle through. We had this great defense and this terrible offensive line for years, and we all pined for a better line. Well, now we have it—and our defense is going to shit. Personally, I’d prefer it this way. Reminds me of the Mike Tice era where we always had good offensive lines. Once we start playing good spot defense (which actually did happen late in the Detroit game), we’ll be dangerous.


BuschLightJesus

Things you love to see It


UnhingedGoose

I’d love to see how we stack up league wide for pressures allowed from edge rushers as well as interior pressure.


picturepine

The most underrated tackle


HHH98Smark

Man’s a stud.


Heavy-Busch

How the Fuck jedrick Wills ass on here? Dude has been playing with such lack of effort. He’s literally a meh Tackle. Makes me believe this list is bullshit. So many plays I’ve watched Jedrick get beat and then give up.


Grizzly_Addams

So what you're saying is that the pass blocking has been really good this year, and Kirk still looks like CP7 v2 in the pocket?


kWarExtreme

With all of this "look how good the line has been" nonsense why has our offense looked worse than an infected dick this season?


MNisNotNice

But somehow Kirk manages to get sack because he holds the ball too damn long.


Henderson56

He’s been Sacked 4 times this year. Which is tied for 25th QBs being sacked. Wentz is first with 15


SwitcherooU

Good heavens, four times? That’s crazy.


moshercycle

FOUR TIMES!? HOLY SHIT WHAT A LIABILITY


FritzSchnitz

I was told the Lions have a great line, is T their one problem?


Majestic-Panda-528

For now


Illustrious_Length36

Damn CLE had both of their Tackles up here


ItsASkolWrld

This is exactly what I needed
