Let's also not lose focus on who the line was for Felix's first 100 rushes vs. the mesh of untalented flesh being thrown in there against opposing front 8s these days. Don't get me wrong, I believe in Free despite his rough year, thing Kosier is underrated overall, and believe that Smith will eventually turn into something special. That said, Smith regularly gets beat inside, Free has been inconsistent as hell and Kosier has been too banged up to do much. The other two positions are beyond weak with horrible, horrible inside push. Sure, they have turned things around over the past 2 weeks, but again, don't forget that Felix had Adams, Columbo, Davis and Gurode to go along with Kosier. That line was MUCH larger and, while they had their own issues, back then they were MUCH better overall than this year's line.
This line has an opportunity to turn into something special with a couple more tweaks, but right now it doesn't hold a candle to the line that Felix started so well with.
