Sure. But back to hypothetical-land... if the OL straightens up and we have, say, another four-year stretch of great OL production... what's the sum?

We'd have had four years of great OL, a weird/shitty year, and then another four great years. What would that tell us about the philosophy?

I remember a while back looking up the Eagles' OL rankings for the past 10 years or so and they were consistently really good (top 1, 2, 5) for several years with a couple random years where they were like 19th or 23rd or whatever with largely the same personnel.

Just pointing out that it's possible we look back at '22 as a true WTF season. It's also possible that we never have it as good as we did from '18-'21.
