Tunsil sticks Clowney in the chest, stands him up, then uses the same outside hand to pick up the looper and block two. Tunsil is playing lights out right now.
The Chiefs have completely revamped & upgraded their OL. The left side looks set with Brown and Thuney while it’s a 7 man race for the other 3 spots between Humphrey/Blythe, LDT/Long/Smith, Niang/Remmers. Insane competition that will result in one of the deepest units in the NFL.
NavySeal Mike Day was shot 27 times by terrorist with Ak47s, 9mm & continued the fight with his Sig 9mm handgun after handles were shot off along with his thumb. He killed remaining 3 bad guys with his 9mm with no handles. THEN WALKED HIMSELF to the medevac Helicopter.

Linderbaum probably has been the best rookie OL this season, which isn’t too surprising considering he was probably the best college lineman last season as well.
Anyone else a sucker for the Walter stutter step? Saquon with his rendition of it here. Every time I see this I view it as either an indirect or direct hat tip to Sweetness. Love it:
How Mahomes keeps escaping through the B gap past Bosa winning the corner reminds me of how Belichick doesn’t value speed rushers a whole lot because he’d rather compress the pocket, keep contain & get interior pressure.
Ryan Ramczyk was brilliant in week 1 vs. J.J. Watt, showing elite-level hand placement & variance in his strikes while mixing up his sets to keep Watt guessing & off-balance.
Also, a stud run-blocker that can create movement off the ball or work to the 3rd level
Ryan Ramczyk is such a beast. Sends Peppers flying prior to his release, then takes the center's man off his hands (lol) and creates an alley for Kamara:
Nelson's eyes never stop looking for work and it leads him to rare pickups on rushers few other guards would attempt, let alone succeed at as often as he does.
Check out the AA, coordination, & balance on his transition to save 74 from being beat clean 👀
(94 = Smoot)
Abraham Lucas has been the best rookie OT that I've seen in the NFL this season and he was the 7th OT and 15th overall OL taken in the draft. His play strength is serving as the foundation of his game & is really impressive.
All 11 of Myles Garrett's sacks this season are high-quality, legit 1v1 wins, nothing cheap. 4 of those are strip/sacks, 7 of them ended drives. Nobody is even close to matching the his impact on sacks. Remarkable what he's doing.
Kolton Miller shut down Frank Clark in Week 5. If you said these words two years ago on this website it would've been dismissed & laughed at by nearly everyone (including me). Incredible job by Tom Cable & Miller. Great example of why "traits" matter so much in the process too.
The Eagles OL as a whole have put on a show all season including the playoffs so far, but what Jordan Mailata is doing as a run-blocker stands out. Unique size, movement skills and power. Paired with Dickerson they are a juggernaut. Been amazing to watch
My top 10 RTs heading into the 2021 season.
1-3 = tier 1
4-6 = tier 2
7-10 = tier 3
My top 15 at every position with detailed breakdowns for all 75 OL is open for subscribers here:
Rookie LG Steve Avila (OG1) was a legit difference-maker in Week 1 with his ability to anchor, set a firm pocket, recover and generate movement in the run game. Really nice debut.
Minnesota center John Michael Schmitz (6'4" 320) wasn't on my radar entering this film (was studying RT Faalele) but he kept flashing so I went back through to study him. He's officially on my watch list for the season after a VERY impressive performance 👀
Grady Jarrett is one of the best DTs I’ve graded this season. Namely for his ability to penetrate. Exceptionally quick, smart, and explosive. Makes tackles all over the field too.
