It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Mankins is great, Light is good, Koppen is great and Neal and Kazcur are both adequate. Pass protection, they probably get an A-, and some of that is thanks to Brady, run blocking isn't as great and if you rewatch these games, you notice plenty of missed blocks. They get better as the game gets on and as the opponent tires, but I do think the rightside of the OL could be upgraded in the offseason, though it doesn't have to be.
From what I've seen, Neal and Mankins are dynamite run blockers. I find it hard to rate Koppen since it is hard to see him in the mass of humanity (unless he is pulling which I haven't seen in a while).
Light and Kazcur both seem to have a hard time moving the LOS (which I think contributes to Maroney's "dancing" reputation). I would imagine there is a rhythm to run blocking, so maybe they need get into a running mindset to really show what they can do.
CHFF or no CHFF, I've been saying that I want that top pick to go for an offensive tackle, and nothing has happened to change my mind about that so far.
to replace who? RT?
I actually agree. I think our O-Line has gone from severely underrated to moderately overrated in the span of a few seasons. Having the best QB in the pocket makes a big difference, as does having Moss, Stallworth, etc. and other weapons that cause teams to commit more defenders to coverage than rushing.

I think that they will continue to find their run game as the season progresses, and who can complain about the pass protection overall?
