Being able to block 1 on 1 with no help the opposing teams best rusher, frees up everyone else. Allows for the TE and RB to help other spots on the line. Adding Whit turned the whole Rams line into a force, we see it all the time. There is a reason outside of QB, LT is the next spot you tackle when building a team.
Wow, that's...interesting. lol
Just real quick;
1. The LT doesn't always block the "best rusher".
2. When the LT blocks 1 on 1, which they do a lot already, it doesn't "free up everyone else". It frees up the guy who was going to be helping--and that only applies when you don't trust your T to block 1 on 1. Everyone else already has their own responsibility.
3. The great LT can't block for anyone else on the line or in the backfield, therefore, it's impossible for him to "work wonders across the line.", unless he has some magic powers to transform bad/average/good linemen into better players.
Any singular, very good to great Oline guy makes his position better and he can mitigate the need for help, but that doesn't magically make the whole line better.
"exposing yourself for the lack of knowledge".
That's a good one.
