Patriots in Top 10

ESPN.com’s daily list of the top 10 teams at each position continues today, with ESPN ranking the top 10 offensive lines in the National Football League.  The teams are ranked based on how the units play together, how may yards a team averages per rush, and how few sacks they allow.  As any Houston Texans fan can tell you, a quality offensive line is an integral part of any winning team, and if your line can’t keep your quarterback protected or help open holes for your running backs to run through, then your team is most likely in for a very long season.

The Patriots were named number six on the list, placing them ahead of teams like the New Orleans Saints and Chicago Bears, but behind the Super Bowl Champion Indianapolis Colts and AFC West teams the Denver Broncos and San Diego Chargers.  This is yet another top ten mark for the Super Bowl favorite New England Patriots.  The Pats once again have one of the most well-rounded teams in the NFL and by adding some top-tier receivers for Tom Brady down the field, the Patriots are most certainly going to be extremely dangerous next year.   The best thing about this offensive line corps is their youth.  This group is very young and, despite their already high rank, still improving, making the Pats a scary team for years to come.
