Great look at grading a lineman with Russ Lande at MMQB and Willie Color, former Steeler and current Jet.

Covers the basics of what coaches are looking for as well as some O line terminology such as Scat Protection, which is NOT what it sounds like it is. Also a nice peek, with an actual example, of why you might not want your O line coach choosing your O lineman over the personnel department.

Also a great read on how, unless you are facing the 49ers and Justin Smith, being a Left Guard is easier and more lucrative than being a Right Guard.

Hey! I specifically requested the 'Am I a DT or DE' edition!

You are a tackle. Satisfied?

Not Russ Lande, he is at Sports on Earth. This article was by Russ Tucker at MMQB.
