I like Burleson but this is one of the dumber things he's said. The 2014 Seahawks were one of the best rushing teams in modern NFL history. They are top 5 all-time in rushing efficiency in terms of DVOA at 29.0%. For perspective, this year's Seahawks are at just 3.1%, the Rams have an incredibly efficient rushing attack and they are at 23.4%. Seriously, Wilson damn near ran for 1000 yards that year and his rushing threat made Beastmode even more unstoppable.
This line would have given Lynch steps on the defense and he could have aded huge amounts of yards to his total, he was a anomaly and made the line look better then it was, Okung and Unger were the two solid pieces when Oking wasn't Super Gluing his ankle together.
If you need someone to stack a stat sheet to show you a metric that suits your arguement fine, it's obvious your eyes can't see whats going on then.
Most here credit Lynch with the running game and the Read option for spreading the field along with Wilsons break out for keeping a defense off balance.
But it was not the O line and it was circumstansial due to the implementation of the Read option.
That has been since figured out and countered.
You could then say the years of Jones. Hutch, Tobeck, Grey and Locklear were a worse line using your standard.
