On Saturday the Seattle Seahawks take on the Dallas Cowboys in a return to the playoffs after having sat at home during the 2017 postseason. A big portion of the credit in the team making its return to the postseason has been given to the offensive line, which was a much more experienced unit in 2018 due to both the return of J.R. Sweezy and the addition of D.J. Fluker.
To discuss the effects of offensive line continuity in general, as well as on the Seahawks revitalized run game, I reached out to Thomas Emerick, an NFL contributor at Sporting News who has done quite of looking into the value of continuity for offensive lines.
