eball Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 #78, Anthony Muñoz. Got to agree with this one. After all, this guy gave Mouse McNally a lifetime free pass as an OL guru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Boselli and Pace. A slight edge to Boselli in pass pro and a slight edge to Pace in the run game. Honerable mentions to Munoz and Walter Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I don't know how far back the information would go, but I'd love to check out the combine stats for the last twenty or so years on the offensive linemen. Anyone know any info???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truth on hold Posted September 9, 2008 Share 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. other way around, bruce gave him fits. if you're going by which opposing lineman gave bruce the most trouble, it was tony bocelli. he was an awesome combination of technique, physical skill and attitude. next would be erik williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am quite clear and sure of this. They went toe to toe, pound for pound, move for move time and time again and he really kept ole Bruce as quiet as one could in those days.

lets_go_bills Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Anthony Munoz is arguably the best ever. Tony Boselli is up there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewPort71 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 wow forgot about dieken The Browns were playing the Buccaneers when they had the Selmon Brothers (Several years ago) and the announcers were touting how great they were. In the middle of the fourth qtr. the announcers (probably that Browns hating Trumpy) figured out that they had not called the Selmon name one time as Doug had man-handled him all day. Dieken was great in that he would not practice all week due to injuries, but he'd show up on Sunday and perform at a top level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkenirishmann Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Larry Allen from Dallas. Many consider him one of the best ever play the guard position and one of the strongest players to ever play for the NFL. I remember reading he could deadlift over 900lbs. OUCH!

DDD Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 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.} Before he got injured toward the end of his career, he would just dominate people. He had a great career cut short by shoulder issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 two ways to measure: who played at the highest peak (for however long you think it is required) vs who had the best overall career. in terms of highest level i have to give it to tony boselli. he'd stand up and pancake guys on so many plays, and on stretch running plays his guy would go out of bounds on his side. he was just vicious. tough for me to say in terms of career. munoz i'd have to go with. didn't see it all tho.

ans4e64 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I think people are confused. This isn't about arguing who is the best lineman of all time, the thread says who is the best, "YOU'VE ever seen?" That said, for me, I'd say Tony Boselli.

HopsGuy Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I'd have to go with Boselli, too. Will Wolford handled folks pretty well too. Anyone read "The Blind Side" by Michael Lewis? I watched the Ole Miss - Wake Forest game this weekend. The subject the the book is Ole Miss left tackle Michael Oher. His play can be described similarly to Walter Jones'. Very strong and athletic. He makes it look very easy. He'll go in the first round next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
