This from the excellent Football Outsiders Almanac 2009, regarding the offensive line:
Interestingly, for all the carnage along the line, there was not a significant decline in performance between the starters and their backups. Stats like Rushing DVOA, ALY, and yards per carry were consistent all year long. In some ways the blocking actually peaked in the final four games. The only real dropoff the end of the year was in big plays; the running game offered no home-run threat over the last quarter of the season. The pass blocking actually improved over that same quarter. This is all an indictment of the first string as much as it is a compliment to the second string. [Emphasis mine]
Thoughts?
