Definitely a very tough position for a reason. I like what Whitworth says:

"Let's be honest, you can stop a guy 80 times in a game but the one time they make a big play people make a big deal out of it," he said. "That's how hard our position is. You look at just how disproportionate defensive lineman and offensive lineman are. A D-lineman wins one time a game he's a Hall of Famer in the NFL. That means he's averaging 16 sacks a season, which would send him to the Hall of Fame no question. "If an NFL offensive lineman loses one time a game, meaning you give up 16 sacks a season, you wouldn't be there the next year. I can lose one out of 80 and I don't have a job."

Best read I've had in a while concerning fball period. Great insight in that piece. Appreciate the link.
I thought so too. It was nice to read an article with substance. Most of the time you read "articles" that are nothing more than excepts from CNS' press conferences with a little spin on it from the "author" that gives you no more info than you already knew.

Exactly. I really did enjoy Barrett and Whitworth's insight. Whit is hilarious and spot on about the OL/DL perception. Then again, the owners don't overlook the big uglies cause the good ones get paid some serious coin.
