When making a major purchase like a home, car, appliance, electronics, or anything else of that ilk, warranties are usually offered at a price. Some find it to be a scam, while others have saved a lot of expense because of it. The National Football League's offensive line is the protection package for their entire operation on offense.

With that, a team can't afford to have a weak link on its offensive line. If they do, a good coaching staff schemes diligently to balance it out with the stronger assets that they have installed. Of course, all spots are vitally important, but besides left tackle, a strong center is so crucial.
