Vs Series: Willie Anderson vs Andrew Whitworth
#14
While Willie is the best RT ever, he did have some struggles in his only season at LT (I know, he was a rookie on a mediocre team) and he played RT when undoubtedly, the opposing team did NOT line up their best pass rusher against him.

Whitworth took his lumps in '06, was mediocre at best out of position at LG in '07 and '08 and then was the best LT we've ever had, outside of Munoz.

His 2014 is burned into my memory (pass blocking, anyways): 0 sacks, 1 QB hit and 7 hurries, for 8 total pressures on 600+ pass blocking snaps: that's one TOTAL PRESSURE, every 75+ snaps (or a game and a bit, at that time) and blocked for (IIRC) 5.3 YPC when running behind him.

Like TLL mentioned above, he faced Suggs for 2 games, Cameron Jordan, Whitney Mercilus, Watt, Von Miller, DeMarcus Ware that year, not to mention the Stoolers twice (who always sacked Andy to death).

And despite a playoff berth, all he got was a measly 2nd Team AP.

My man all day, every day.
