Best by Position: OT

I think this one goes to Green Bay, we have arguably the best LT and and the best RT in the division.

then why did you vote minnesota?

I think the Bears will have some good play from the OT position, with that said I vote for the packers.

Well This one is harder for me I think McKinnie is one of the best LTs in the League but Cook is not really a great RT.... so I went with Minni just cuz the LT is more important than RT.

Clifton isnt far behind McKinnie, but Cook isnt half as good as Tauscher

wow, really, minnesota is winning?

Just ask the Vikings fans how they fell about Cooks pass and run blocking, and McKinnie about his pass blocking. Hands down, the vets in GB win this.

If, like the QB thread we are saying who will be the best by the end of the season, i think the Pack tackles might regress.

My reasoning is both through age and not having a qb whos keen pocket awarness and quick release make them look better by minimising sacks. Add to that they will face alot of good pass rushing DEs this year including Jarred Allen twice. And i think McKinnie will come out with a chip on his shoulder after a possible suspesion and play with a bit of fire (the one thing holding him back). Cook has the physicall tools and 2 years of development under his belt and i could see him making big strides this year - similar to Herrera.
Just my opinion

i voted minny because i thought it was the whole o-line. wondered why no mention of hutch.......figured it out immediatley afterwards

ah well....

you can say possibly, but I can say possibly with every other position. FACTS are that GB OT, at this moment, are better then the others. Just like the other teams players are better at this moment.

That is my exact argument fo Aaron Rodgers, but this poll (to my understanding of the statement in the first poll) is what you think will happen by the end of the season. So IMO regrssion of the Pack, progression of the Vikings and external factors (pass rush) equals my decision. But yes at this second the Pack are better

I think both Green Bay tackles are overrated, and I don't see them having years like they did last year. Minnesota has the best LT. Tait is probably now the best RT in the division. Add that to the fact Chris Williams will own, and I voted Bears :)

Oh no too much homerism. Tait is probably now the best RT in the division ?!? Tauscher should have been close to the Probowl last year.

Winner is Green Bay

KCJ58 · 05-05-2008, 04:30 PM

call me crazy but i like what Chicago has done, i think they have the best

Crazy_Chris · 05-05-2008, 05:34 PM

Chad Clifton and Bryant McKennie are both good LT's you could make a case for either one as being better but Ryan Cook's Pass Protection is absolutly horrid especially compared to Tauscher so I would vote Packers on this one.
