Top 10 Offensive Linemen in the NFL today
Jun 14, 2008 | 8:38AM | report this

First of all as a disclamer i'm listening to New Soul by Yael Naim so if my list seems a little "soft" please forgive me.

10. Joe Thomas.

 

 C'mon he's only played one year(you got me there). Lots of people have good rookie years and never rebound(true). Yeah he hasn't entirely proven himself(wrong). If theres one lineman on the Browns who has proven themself it is Joe Thomas.

He made the Pro Bowl and played every snap. Thomas came in second in the voting for NFL Rookie of the Year. He was the only other person to receive votes other than the eventual winner

Adrian Peterson.

9. Matt Light.

 He is the anchor of the offensive line of the most winning team of this century. He's really shined in the past 3 years and although he is a little overated he's not too overated to be on this list. It's true he doesn't have as much talent as some guys on this list but he's a flat out winner and a great lineman.

8. Alan Faneca.

 His play has been very incosistent lately. He's made the Pro-Bowl on reputation alone. But even with those demerits he's still one of the best out there. One of the best Steeler lineman ever(according to All-75th Anniversary Team voted by fans).

5 All-Pro. 7 Pro-Bowl. And a big shiny super bowl ring. He's a beast. And the steelers are probably eviotos for getting  rid of him.

7. Tom Nalen.

Honestly you look at this picture and say hey! It's John Elway! The 5th best QB of all time(according to me). But who's the guy with those tight #### pants on. His 5 pro bowls and no All-Pro's means he is a fan favorite. I like fan favorites. 2 super bowls and consitency put this guy at the number "7" spot.

6. Flozell Adams.

 He is one of the few people keeping Romo from being exposed as the mediocre QB he is. Adams is a solid and sometimes clutch protector.

5. Steve Hutchinson.

Yeah I'm a biased michigan fan so deal with it.

But 5 all-pro selections(and 5 pro-bowls) make him a skilled reconized lineman.

 

 4. Jeff Saturday

while watching the Super Bowl(last year) I noticed the MVP of that super bowl wasn't Manning. It wasn't Addai. It was Saturday. He opened wholes like a it was nothing and in the past 3 years he's been the best center in the NFL.

3. Willie Anderson.

I'm going to go with Anderson because I don't think he's had as many talented players lining up (direcetly) next to him. Although he was injured last year, he had an impressive run for 10 years as a starter.

2. Orlando Pace.

The numbers on this guy are incredible. in 11 years he's amounted to a Super Bowl Champ. A 7 time Pro Bowler. A 6 time All-Pro. But the only thing separating him from number 1 is injuries.

1. Walter Jones.

 In the same amount of time Pace has gotten 7 pro bowls. Jones got 8. In the same time Pace got 6 all-pros. Jones got 7. Does it mean he's alot better. No. It's probably just because of injury but that doesn't matter because the best O-lineman in the game today is Walter Jones.

 

Honorable mention

Eric Steinbach-solid

 

 Leonard Davis-pretty goof

 

Jake Long-not even played yet and already overpaid,

ABOUT ME


True0Blue0And0Maize
Love Michigan football. Carolina Panthers. UNC Basketball. Detroit Tigers/Red Sox. Actually I'm not a Tiger guy. My parents love them but my uncle(who i was close with) gave me a Sox hat for my 6th B-day. When I saw MY hat on TV. I guess that was the moment. I'd like to see more successful Tiger seasons but at least I've got the Red Sox to cheer me up(although they don't look too good). I guess my story is Born in Michigan moved to North Carolina at 13 and saw first ever home panthers game. I loved them for some reason.
