It was the most pitiful offensive line in professional football history.

As far as a unit...they had excellent wide recievers (one was the subject of double coverage on every passing down...and was playing with injuries) the other rode the bench the entire season for reasons related to insubordination.

Their running backs are adequate, their quarterback play was only so far below average because of the fact the offensive life couldn't block anyone.

The 2006 Raiders offense is the ultimate example of how bad a unit with talent at the skill positions can look when no one up front can block.

I made my brother some bucks last year when the Rams came into Oakland after it was very clear how bad they were. They were giving points to the Rams who had a good running attack and the Raiders defense was also not good against the run. I knew the Rams would cram the ball down their throats and then the Raiders offense would do what? with very little time with the ball.
One of the most outrageous lines I have ever seen. I looked for injuries on the Rams I figured something had to be wrong. I think the final was like 20-7 Rams. I was totally stunned by that line. It was absurd.

Cant bet here or I would have. And I rarely even present my brother with picks, but I had to call him on this one, not the other way around.

Sorry. Back to Quinn. I think he will be fine.
