Quote:Why is LT such a premier position?

Because they protect the QBs Blind Side

Where do most Blitzes and Top pass rusheres like to rush from?

The Qbs Blind side

 

Im not saying Tony was not great. He did handle Bruce Smith with reckless abandon when he faced him, along with many other top Defensive linemen he faced. But the premier line position on the Jags offensive line the years Tony played was RT. Why Because our QB was LH and his blind side was to the RT side, And many times the blitzes and top pass rushers would move to that side. Tony could have been just as dominate with a RH QB but we just dont know. I dont think he will get into the HOF Fred probably has the best chance.

 

LT is a premier position not because of the "blind side" but because he is going up against the best pass rusher one on one. The best pass rusher lines up on the offensive left not because of the blind side but because of the majority of offensive formations have a TE on the right side along with run plays going that way. Its not really about the "blind side" but more about the formations and alignments. Boselli did quite often get the best pass rusher.

 

Regardless of what hand the QB was, Boselli would have been dominate. There is no doubt whatsover of that.
