Re: Unit Analysis: Offensive Tackles

it's hard to judge offensive lineman as individuals usually, just because all of the blocking is done as a unit, and the statistical ways to measure the success of the unit would be sacks allowed and yards per rush, but if you have a quick and mobile qb or a stud rb, its hard to tell how much of the success is due to what. it seems to me that most "premier" offensive lineman get by on name and reputation alone, which is why I think you see practically the same lineman in the probowl every year.

Jansen is coming off a missed year but is still a quality right tackle, and as for Samuels, I don't know about any of you but I swear he got beat a lot last year, way more than an all-pro should've. I don't know if he just had a bad year or is truly overrated, but he has to do a better job of protecting Patrick's blindside this year.
