He's earned it. I could only imagine the mental and physical toughness it takes being the blind side blocker for a 5'10" 200lb QB in the NFL....WoW that takes balls like serious HUGE BALLS!

Props to Ikey not getting BY killed weekly and if DM and Tepper are planning on rolling with BY long term than he better open the bank for a guy like that.

The problem with giving him a big payday is that he probably will always be lesser than his peers in pass protection. He has improved in that area somewhat, but enough to reset the left tackle market? Not my money, I don't really care, but I am not so sure he should command that amount.

Where do you draw line top3 or top 5 money then?

I wish he goes for a "hometown" deal and doesn't try and reset market but it's going to be tough to argue not paying him BIG MONEY if he continues do be a stabilizing force on the left side of line.

DM got some tough decisions to make at the OT position coming up.

      For me it would be like getting underwear at Christmas.  Sure you probably need it and it will be extremely useful but there is no wow factor. Definitely not arguing with you.  Just my .02

      Evero prefers that smaller NT. I think the reason they don't use that many of the Wilfork style NT is there just aren't enough of them to go around. 360-375 is a lot of weight to sling around, and there aren't a lot of guys that can play dominantly at that size with the power needed to demand double teams consistently.  Even with Star/Short, Star ate an extra lineman most plays and that freed up Short 1v1.  I prefer a 4-3 with ball hawking LBs. To me, it's just more versatile because the hub of your defense isn't revolving around the health and dominance of a single D lineman. Also, with only a few between the tackle power backs, the run game has changed as well with a lot more dump offs and short yardage passing.

      Faulk gets a lot of high marks for being a fantastic culture guy and has great measurements but his production leaves a lot to be desired. Not my top pick for the DLine but I would not hate it.
