[QUOTE="Pack93z, post: 178234, member: 288"] They better find a cork for the number of leaks in the offense line.. I wonder if they are regretting the passing on Joe Thomas now.... BTW.. Cleveland's line is quietly putting a nice season together. :razz: [quote="PF Weekly]Five games, 26 sacks allowed.
