Twitter: Doug Farrar top 12 Offensive Tackles

[CowboyRoy]

I said he has a "chance" to be which means "future"...open up your eyes.
Steele is a 1-2 year serviceable RT, a stop gap player for cheap with a good attitude but nothing great.

You better hope he doesn't get Prescott Killed

Why would he have a chance to be? ON the downside of his career now. Heading in the wrong direction. Getting worse.

Collins was never a top 5 RT and certainly not last year.

Cincy paid him like a low end starter.

Collins had one year as a top end starter. Outside of 2019, he had been a good but not great player

Lane Johnson was second team all-pro:

And was previously first team all pro:

PFF had him as their fifth tackle in the NFL:

Pro Football Network had him as their third best:

CBS has him 4th:

Is everybody wrong?

Johnson may be the best RT in football. An argument of him outside of the top 5 OT's would probably be him not playing LT. Top 5 is too rich for Mailata though IMO

You mean 3 years ago?

Getting rid of La'el Collins was another completely idiotic decision by this front office. You went from pro bowl caliber to career backup at starting RT.

Just dumb and they'll be desperate for a real RT next offseason.

After news leaked that Collins would be questioned by the Louisiana State police about the shooting death of a woman he had previously been involved with, NFL teams got nervous.

Far from being an idiotic decision by this front office. This front office has given many players a chance to get their act (s) together. Some do, some don't. Collins is a bad egg. Let Cincy worry about his thug life. Dallas doesn't need thise type of headaches. No big loss. Every player is replaceable. Not like Collins was a pro bowler.

Or two full seasons, however you want to look at it. He played 1 season where he could be considered a Pro Bowl caliber OT and hasnt followed it up. 2020 he got hurt due to poor conditioning. 2021 there was the suspension, with his idiotic bribe attempt. When he came back in 2021, he was a significantly diminished player from what he was in 2019. And I am a poster that was against cutting him. The last two seasons for him are pretty grim though. It cant really be denied

IT was a great move to get rid of him and his salary. Everything else is just static.

 

[Creeper]

We're all going to get to see it at least twice this year and if they run through the center of our defensive line which I predict is very possible.
We will know they are as advertised. Eagles are strong in the trenches on both sides of the ball. It's going to be tough sledding because we have not kept up

The Eagles have strong lines on both sides of the ball. The may have the best offensive line in the NFL. The offensive line plays well together and they have maybe the best Center in the NFL when he is healthy. The don't have Brandon Brooks anymore but they are still strong in the middle. I think Mialata and Johnson are good players but I just do not think they are both top 5.

You may be right but I would stake my life on them being top 10 conversely our line I think is about 12th at the absolute best and when Tyron is not healthy we drop about 10 spots

 

[StarOfGlory]

I am a little surprised Tyron is listed so high. I am not surprised Collins made the list. I am more surprised two Eagles are in the top 5. Shocked actually. They have a strong OL but Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata are not top 5 OTs.

Lane Johnson really is that good.
