Re: Trent Williams thread.

TW is one of those situations that I'm glad it worked out for us. Back when he was coming out of college, the top tackles were him and R. Okung. Okung has been plagued by injuries and has bounced around teams. Aside from the suspensions, TW has been amazing for us.

Re: Trent Williams thread.

We've had some hella good LTs through the years from Jacoby to Lachey to Samuels... TW just may be the best of them all.

Re: Trent Williams thread.

Yeah, left tackle seems to be a position that we have always been able to have a solid guy at. It's the rest of the line that we have struggled in over the past several years, but I think our offensive line is really starting to gel and become pretty solid.

Re: Trent Williams thread.

With a the exception of a couple of years we have had amazing continuity at LT:

1981-87 Joe Jacoby
1988-95 Jim Lachey
2000-09 Chris Samuels
2010- Present Trent

Essentially, four left tackles over ~ 37 years. All with Pro-Bowls and All-Pro years on their resumes. Not too shabby.

... and, yes, no disrespect to the others, but Silverback is the best of the four. He has Jacoby's nasty streak, Samuels technical ability and Lachey's mobility and is just the biggest and meanest of the bunch.

Re: Trent Williams thread.

Let's not forget about the Andy Heck era either

Re: Trent Williams thread.

When Vonn Miller says you're the best LT he's ever seen, you're the best LT. Period.

Re: Trent Williams thread.

U could argue that the redskins are LT U of the NFL. I will say we know how to bring in lineman historically better than most

Don't even joke like that -- someone will take it seriously.
