So if a lineman is in the game for 20 plays and carries out his blocking assignment correctly 15 times he would grade out at 75%. Not sure if/how this would fit into the game mechanics but throwing it out there as a way to track O-Line performance.

This would be a good thing to have, as a former offensive lineman, we had those when I played in high school.
They can be misleading though, I always scored very well 90%+, but was far from our best lineman, we had one guy who struggled to score 60% but dominated. That was mostly because he got knocked down for the times he should have been penalized, the guy was a walking penalty machine, holding, hands to the face, blows to the head, and even picking up the d lineman and throwing him at backers, but he almost never got called, he had it down to an art.
