I may not see a lot of Browns or Raiders games but what I do see seems like a lot of QB running for his life, being planted into the turf, or being listed on the injury report. It may be a result of poor quarterbacking or it may be a result of the rush getting to him before the receivers can run the routes.
I agree teams should do that. Joe Thomas (Tackle) is an annual Pro Bowl pick for the Browns (drafted 2007). Alex Mack (C) was drafted in the first round in 2009. No first round picks of O/L since then.
