PLAY ACTION
by JASON LANGENDORF
You'd think based on sheer girth, offensive linemen could at least earn themselves a Q rating up there with, say, beefy American Idol star Ruben Studdard.
Even if linemen don't show up in a box score, they affect the players who do. A quick preview of some of the league's offensive lines (from best to worst):
1. High on the Hogs
Rams. The trade for Kyle Turley gives St. Louis a pair of unmatched bookend blockers (along with Orlando Pace) to go with new center Dave Wohlabaugh and old guard Adam Timmerman, one of the league's best. The changes are huge for a team that must protect Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk.
Others: Cardinals, Chiefs, Saints.
