There is a strange relationship in this game of football with offensive linemen. You know, those big sloppies. The grunts. The guys normally never invited to pose for any of those fund-raising player calendars.
They are a huge necessity, and in great need. As Dallas Cowboys Pro Football Hall of Famer Rayfield Wright, a six-time NFL Pro Bowler, likes to say, “You’ve got to put the engine in there before the car is going to move.”
Truer words never spoken.
But in this strange dichotomy, when it comes right down to it, those most precious engines are hard to find.
