Tcali Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 My number one would be Bob Brown of the Eagles and raiders...60s and early 70s...followed closely by Anthony Munoz of Cincy. Billy Shaw and Joe D both were scary good as well--probbly top 15-20 of all time.
34-78-83 Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 If you're talking seeing live in-person, Richmond Webb was the best I've seen vs. our Bills. He gave Bruce fits.
WellDressed Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 You're probably going to laugh, but I'd have to go with Tony Boselli. {This has nothing to do with him calling the game on sunday.}
Matt in KC Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Bruce Matthews. Though Bob Johnson (a Center; the original Bengal) is the best I've actually talked to.
jarthur31 Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 John Fina. Hey somebody gotta be the first wiseass here.

MartyBall4Buffalo Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 I'm not old enough to remember all time greats, and can only go off late 80's- current in which case I'd say Willie Roaf
Bill from NYC Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Orlando Pace. Getting by Pace and sacking the qb wasn't an option. Wrt run blocking, he was a product of the conservative Ohio State program, and he could run block like no other.

Wrt run blocking, he was a product of the conservative Ohio State program, and he could run block like no other. Bill, you would put OPace better than Anthony Muñoz? Muñoz was a 11 time consecutive Pro-Bowler. Also a 10 time All-Pro... Almost double that of Pace... And it seems that Pace is slowing down now (missed Pro-Bowl in 2006, 2007).
nuklz2594 Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 John Hannah Mike Webster Anthony Munoz Kent Tull Dwight Stephenson John Hannah was an absolute beast. Mike Webster may be the best center ever.

Pace appeared to be the stronget of them all, and by a lot.
MarkAF43 Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 No mention of Walter Jones? I think he is one of the best to ever play, and as Boselli said sunday, he makes it look so easy

Billy Shaw and Joe D both were scary good as well--probbly top 15-20 of all time. Bob Brown is a very interesting choice, considering that he played RT. For an overall career, he was probably the best RT ever but again.....for a couple of seasons, my choice would be Erik Williams in terms of a RT.
dib Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 John HannahMike Webster Anthony Munoz Kent Tull Dwight Stephenson John Hannah was an absolute beast. Mike Webster may be the best center ever. Jethro's Brother played football?
Bill from NYC Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 John Hannah was an absolute beast. Mike Webster may be the best center ever. I agree. It is tough to rate OGs from the past because they were so much smaller in those days. Still, Hannah was one of, if not the best. Props also go out to undrafted free agent Larry Little, and Highway 63, Gene Upshaw.
