LOGINThe ongoing discourse in football has been that defense wins championships. Every so often the Superbowl showcases a stellar defensive outing which then, ultimately, makes the notion that defense win championships go unchallenged by those immersed in the football community.
Although a teamās defense is a crucial component to a teamās overall success, much can be said about the importance of the offensive line to a teamās offensive success. The trench wars dictate the outcome of every play. The linemen set the tone for the game with their physicality and at times the teamās identity as a whole comes to embody the play of the linemen. They do not garner much media coverage or recognition by the masses, but their contribution is crucial.
