Dome Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 So. How close is he to being the best tackle in football? Or is he there? He’s definitely in the top tier. Last year he was obviously very good, and was given PFF’s award for the best run blocker in the league. This year he’s taken the ears of JJ Watt, DeMarcus Lawrence, Jadaveon Clowney and Shaq Barrett. Terron saw work against these guys too, it wasn’t all Ryan of course. But Ryan has gone up against some of the leagues best edge defenders and played them at a very high level. We all knew he was a mauler in the run game, but he’s turned into a borderline lockdown protector this year as well. What a guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMG5 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I think he's the best RT in football, but I may be biased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckoz24 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Never would have thought the Cooks trade would have been this good for us. I was new to football and didn’t realize how important the o-line was, but even with that said. Never expected to get what we got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy G for Max Unger anyone? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid Iowa Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I've been impressed with the recent "upgrades" when we parlay one talent for a greater one, whether down the line, or immediately. Unger and Ramczyk are both players we'll never look back at with a yeah, but. Jimmy is still a stud, but Max was what we needed when traded. Now if we could add another receiver. (note, I'm taking it easy on our corners this week....hmmmm....) D-line at 100% for $1,000, Alex! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlowe22 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 He's close. At this point, I'm wondering where our 2017 draft stacks up all time. Lattimore, Ramcyzk, Kamara, Anzalone, whoever else I forgot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus Williams Trey Hendrickson 5 starters, 1 strong reserve plus UDFA Cameron Tom who has been our 6th blocker on jumbo sets and UDFA and Packers cast-off Taysom Hill that off-season too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
