Key points about rain and offensive linemen:
Improved grip:
While the field becomes slippery for everyone, offensive linemen often have larger hands and can use their grip to better control their opponent's movements in wet conditions.
Reduced pass rush effectiveness:
The lack of traction for defensive linemen can make it harder for them to generate quick bursts and power to get past offensive linemen.
Focus on running game:
In rainy conditions, teams often lean towards a more run-heavy offense, which puts more emphasis on the offensive line's ability to create space for running backs.
However, it's important to remember:
Severe rain can be detrimental:
Heavy rain can also negatively impact offensive linemen by making it difficult to maintain balance and footing, potentially leading to penalties or fumbles.
Skill still matters:
Even in rain, a skilled defensive lineman can still use technique and leverage to overcome the challenges of a slippery field.
Knowing the Browns owe Deshaun Watson 46 million each of the next two years is also a disadvantage
