CENTER Roberto Garza: The leader of the offensive line, Garza had his own ups and downs. He has one year left on a three-year contract. Overall: -5.6; Pass: 1.9; Run: -8.2
TACKLE J’Marcus Webb: Webb started off the year on the hot seat, but started all 16 games as the struggles of other offensive linemen gained more attention. Overall: -0.8; Pass: 1.4; Run: -0.9
