I think the old adage still holds true...1...QB, 2...blindside protector, 3...pass rusher
It still floors me that so many people are still saying LT. You can fake blindside protection these days. The team that won the SB had Ryan Harris there. Your Steelers hardly missed a beat when Beechum went down. Carolina had Oher on a paltry contract.
With it being so much easier to run in this league (and teams still deciding they don't want to even if it is easy) and with passing offenses being so much more dink and dunk than the vertical offenses we saw 20 years ago, LT just isn't the impact position it used to be.
