From NFL coverage, this is your March 5th update. A new chart from Sharp Football Analysis ranks NFL teams on offensive line stability. It measures how often each team's most used Lyman group play together. The New Orleans Saints ranked 2nd to last. Their top combo logged just over 16.9% of total offensive snaps. The Saints invested heavily in their line last summer. They signed Guard Dillon Redoons in free agency. They traded for Senator Luke Fortner and Swing Tackle Ossie Richards. They also drafted left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. in the first round. Key starters returned to. Right tackle Talley's Pauwaga came back. So did Right Guard Cesar Release and Pro Bowl Center Eric McCoy. Fans no injuries still tore the unit apart. That main group featured Banks at left tackle and Ruiz at Right Guard. But back-ups filled the other spots. Rodoons was at left guard. Fortner handled center. Richards played right tackle.

This shows heavy shuffling across positions. The line stayed worn down all season despite the upgrades. Teens with better health held combos together far longer.
