Sporting News Top 20 Offensive Tackles

[SeanSmith24]

We are the only team to have 2 offensive tackles in the top 20, that should tell u something about our o-line right :)

8. Jake Long, Dolphins. He's another cornerstone type who combines good size with nice strength and a physical style. He can be a dominating run blocker, which is important when you're working for Bill Parcells. His pass blocking improved last year but still needs work.


19. Vernon Carey, Dolphins. The addition of Long allowed Carey to move back to his natural position on the right side. He played well last season and earned a new contract. He's durable and efficient and uses his size to play with power.

Its nice to have O line be a strength

 

[McGaniel]

Thank god we have a front office that know the importance of a Oline. Been a long time since we have had this much talent up front.

 

[LibertineOneThree]

Eight??

Joke.

8th best tackle as a rookie, I say thats not bad at all. Give Jake another year or 2 and he'll be in the top 4. :hi5:

I'd agree with you if Ryan Clady wasn't number one.

 

[Phinatic8u]

Clady would be on the bench on our team..he his a zone blocking scheme tackle..thats why he did so good for them so dont worry we still have the best pure tackle

 

[Mr772]

Jason Peters absolutely sucked last year so how does he make #3? Jake Long is better than half the people in front of him on that list.

 

[Rev Kev]

He can walk a tight rope at 320 but he doesn't maul... I'll taker the mauler

 

[Dmarino110]

Eight??

Joke.

he's only been there a year...I'm surprised people think that highly of carey as a tackle...I wanted to pick up someone like max starks and move carey back to guard...it would be a scary line at that point...

 

[GoonBoss]

IT would tell me lots more if all of this publications lists weren't complete jokes and waste of perfectly good fishwrap.

Eight??

Joke.

He's played 1 year.

 

[Dolfan4life!]

He's played 1 year.

That doesn't seem to matter. Did you see who was ranked #1?

 

[Emil305]

Probably 8th b/c he was a rookie last year but if he keeps playing the way he is Long will be #1 in 2 years and carey is great a home town player....
