okay so that is 5 good ones, maybe, as NFL teams do draft bad players quite often. Even so the offensive line has been abysmal here since Holtz.

When was the OL good? We've never had a decade long run of dominant OL's. I can't think of a 5 year period even when we had a OL that was elite in conference. Elliot has proven that he can develop talent, 2 guys drafted weren't even heavily recruited out of HS. There are some good stats in this thread about Rushing yards etc...I'd like to see a comparison going back to 99 on things like; Sacks Allowed, TFL's Allowed, Rushing Yards, etc....

Is Elliott the best OL coach we could have? {Yes and No: of course there are OL Coaches who statistically do better and who are even better recruiters at blue blood schools, but No b/c can we get them from those schools realistically?} I could think of several other guys, but he is a good evaluator of talent, recruiter, and can develop NFL talent, we've already seen that.
