Football Outsiders always has some interesting stats and I like what they do for OL stats a lot:

While 2014 was certainly better than we have been in a while, the stats show that we still have a long way to go to get back to having a top line.

- Standard Downs Line Yards per Carry: The raw, unadjusted per-carry line yardage for a team on standard downs (first down, second-and-7 or fewer, third-and-4 or fewer, fourth-and-4 or fewer). - 72nd
- Passing Downs Line Yards per Carry: The same unadjusted averages for rushing on passing downs. 117th
- Opportunity Rate: The percentage of carries (when five yards are available) that gain at least five yards, i.e. the percentage of carries in which the line does its job, so to speak. 56th
- Power Success Rate: This is the same as on the pro side -- percentage of runs on third or fourth down, two yards or less to go, that achieved a first down or touchdown. 75th
- Stuff Rate: Same as STUFFED on the pro side -- percentage of carries by running backs that are stopped at or before the line of scrimmage. 87th
