Also there should be penalties and penalty yardage on the Oline.

Pro Football Focus has better data on linemen. Here is there entry for the Falcons after week 10:

PB = 24th, RB = 21st and PEN = 1st

Part of why Matt Ryan is having an MVP year is that he’s handling pressure and overcoming a line that isn’t making running the ball all that viable. For years now the Falcons have been a team that have beat up on weaker fronts, but if their effort against New Orleans is anything to go by, even those days are behind them. But hey, they rarely give up penalties.



Overall the Falcons OLine dropped from 12th to 20th based on their week 10 "performance".

What those numbers tell me is that the Falcons are much better running the ball up the middle and to the right. Running left is a total waste.
