Introduction

The quantity and quality of offensive line analysis has grown since the time Brandon Thorn started analyzing the subject online in 2014, but there’s still a long way to go. People’s appetite for quality analysis of the trenches is increasing, and that’s truly exciting. I am committed to helping further an appreciation and understanding of what takes place on the line of scrimmage. I strongly believe that football being “won and lost in the trenches” and smart teams building from “the inside out” aren’t just cliches.
