QB candidates for 2020 Draft
(11-06-2019, 07:33 PM)bfine32 Wrote: Williams was a Freshman All-American at RT. Regardless where the Defense lines up the QB still has the same blindside and that's where you want your best pass protector. 

Right....and then they moved him. Why did Saban move him to LT with a left handed QB if it's so important to protect that blindside? Answer, because it really isn't the big a deal. Like I said you are more likely to attach a TE to the RT so with that in mind you can double the blind side. You play guys at their best position, not because of some old wives tale about how important the "blind side" is. It is a pretty commonly held belief today that it really isn't anymore important than the other tackle position. The Raiders paid Trent Brown massive money and everyone thought it was to be the "blind side" protector, but instead they played him at RT, the position they felt he played best (Which he has played really well this year by the way).

If you have the athletic this is a great explanation by Ross Tucker who used to be a linemen but now is an analyst. It starts diving into the schematic reasons why in today's NFL it really doesn't matter.

https://theathletic.com/1023509/2019/06/12/there-is-no-longer-a-distinction-between-left-tackles-and-right-tackles/

The final thought is kind of my point...


Quote:What does it all mean?


It means you better have a right tackle who can pass protect and not play like a slower-footed ogre like some teams have put out there. Look at the teams that went far in the playoffs last year and you quickly realize they all had very good right tackle play. It’s become a premium position in a passing league focused on affecting the quarterback even if the salaries haven’t all caught up to that reality yet.

It also means that if you hear someone continuing to make a distinction between left and right tackle you should probably stop listening to them because their thinking is outdated.
