They grade Olineman by watching each play, and seeing if they got beat or not. They see if they block no one, or if they get stood up, or if they get pushed back. They also judge whether or not they make positive impact plays, like pancakes, or driving the dlineman back, and or getting a block at the second level. They do not use stats. Sometimes it's tough to tell exactly whose fault a play is and sometimes they rotate coverage over to help out a weak link so it's tough to quantify, but basically Slauson is a little better at pass blocking, and Vlad makes more impact run blocking plays. Moore has not been the same since his surgery, and they all have a tougher time since Howard requires help on all pass plays so they don't get to double team the NT a lot, and the defense knows that the protections will roll that direction. They would all look a lot better with a good RT. Even Mangold has struggled. Howard may yet become that, but the old ways are gone now, and a lot of teams have two edge rushers, or move them around so I don't think he's athletic enough. Anyway Moore will be gone next year, and probably Slauson. It's time now to play Vlad and see if he can handle the role. He has the potential to be an outstanding guard. I realize that's disappointing when he was supposed to be a great RT but it's better than nothing. You seem to always attack promising news with such vitriol. I don't know why you guys are so militant.
