The wonderful, the all-accurate, espn.com.

Truthfully I don't know enough about Offensive linemen around the league to give any real commentary about it. Just reporting it. Wonder if Otah could make it if he ever got around to pulling his panties out of his rear.

[Jackofalltrades]

He's widely regarded as one of the best, again...if he was in a large market he'd be an All Pro every year.

[Cat'sGrowl]

Agreed. Although his consistent False starts still drive me crazy.

Looks like I double posted this thread. Go ahead and get to Modding one of them up for me will ya?

[Jackofalltrades]

False starts are a pain, but he's not that bad. Nothing close to a Flozell Adams.

[tarheelpride]

Also note that going by that list, he's the best LT in the NFC. Even with his tendency to false start, you would be hard-pressed to find many more consistent than him

Remember Todd Steussie? And he managed to start a SB for us haha

Gross is a strong part of this O :cheers2:

[Jackofalltrades]

Our left side may be the best in the league when healthy.

^ Agreed. And really you could throw Kalil in there and I'd love to see the LT-LG-C combo that's much better than that right now

[jks85]

beason also got some love on the linebackers list, though it was from a scouts inc member not the creators of the list (granted they ranked 3-4 and 4-3 lb together which was retarded)

"Beason is like Patrick Willis, but he is 95 percent of him. He can play outside, inside, he's smart -- but there is so little around him that people don't realize how good he is."

Much as I like our guys, I don't remember them doing so hot last season

"When healthy" is an important qualifier.

I was including Kalil, but didn't specify. If we can figure Otah and RG out we'll have the potential to be nasty on O.

Ignorance is bliss :rolleyes:

Gross had 4 penalties throughout the entire 2010 season, which was tied 6th best amongst starters.

He had one penalty through the 9 games he played before being hurt in 2009.

Good point. That said, you can't tell me he hasn't had a history of false starts and holding. I've even read somewhere about his own teammates picking on him for it.
