El-Rey Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Trent has picked up his game recently, and the entire line has been substantially better than last year. That said, what lineman or linemen have particularly impressed you this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkFan8 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Probably Montgomery, given the way Rabach has struggled in recent years I'm impressed Will has been as solid as he has been. Trent has been up and down, with some great games and some mediocre ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C26 Run Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Tough to answer because the T positions always get the spotlight. The C position has been a big upgrade with Montgomery. Chris Chester has been a pleasant surprise. See what I mean I can't pick one. The overall unit looks impressive and hopefully they can stay healthy for a long while. :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWFLSkins Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I think the big difference this year is Monty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkskin Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Williams earned another notch of respect from me last week when Rex threw that second pick. Williams hustled from all the way across the field to make the tackle and showed off his remarkable athleticism. He's played much better since week one, as has Chester. For anyone who missed the play I was talking about, check out the 2:00 mark of this link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIPXy_T9L64&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Easily Monty. The center play was so weak, (LITERALLY AND PHYSICALLY) , the last couple of years. Montgomery has been exceptional anchoring the line this year. Hope he can keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Trent easily for me. He's the best lineman on the team right now, by a sound margin. As well he should be given his draft status. I've been pleasantly surprised by Lichtensteiger at times too. Monty is a mixed bag. His run blocking can really be an issue at times but he doesn't give up interior pressures often. He's just fair. Could be a lot worse I suppose. The right side of the line is really subpar. Hopefully they'll settle in eventually and give you a consistently good effort every week but I wouldn't count on it. Draft picks need to be spent here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 If the question is which position was the biggest upgrade this season to last, then it obviously has to be Monty since Chester hasn't been very good and Trent, JB, and Lichtensteiger all played their current positions last year. But I feel like the question is asking which lineman's play has been the best so far this year, regardless of last year's play. I think it's absolutely Trent. His worst games are great games for the other four. He's got the most responsibilities and is the linchpin of the offense and his play is the best anyway.

Dark Acre Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 OL is a team position. One guy a champion does not make. This is our best OL in many, many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goingforburgundy Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 OL is a team position. One guy a champion does not make. This is our best OL in many, many years. Congrats they win the special olympics. Trent has been the best. I still feel we need 2 or 3 starters on this OLine. JB needs replaced as does CC. A parking cone would of been an upgrade over Rabach. Monty as done decently but we are running around 10% between the tackls and this will be snuffed out before long by teams as the season goes on. I hope to use our second round pick on a RG or C if Rocky McIntosh continues to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 chester has looked the worst out of all of them.. I'd disagree and say Brown hasn't played as well as he should be. He's let in sacks and has had some penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkabong82 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 some odd opinions in here. I think Monty has been the best so far, but also Chester has done well. I think Brown and Licht have been underperforming, Trent has improved from game 1 and been fine overall IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Most Impressive? Monty. Switching from guard to center in the NFL is tough. Best play so far would be Trent, with Lichtensteiger right behind. Kory has been pretty solid and consistant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 chester has looked the worst out of all of them.. I don't necessarily think this is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fancrazyskin Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Honestly I think the line as a whole has been playing exceptional well as a unit. You can't expect them to stop ever blitz, rusher at all times the guys on the other side of the ball get paid to do there job also. If I had to pick one I would say Montgomery he is a vast improvement over Ez-Pass.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirtyfive2seven Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Monty is great but I'll go with Chester. We still need another tackle to compliment Williams but that's for another topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsCrushCowboys Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Trent is getting better. Kory has been solid, Brown still has too many holding calls at critical times. For me, Montgomery is the answer. Having a center that does not get pushed back into the QB on every play like Easy pass Rabach did is huge. I think they are all getting used to the ZBS and certainly as a group are in a much better position than we were last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Williams by far. And he's been up and down. But Trent's bad games are real good ones for the other 4. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCClybun Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I'd say Trent and Kory have been playing excellently for us, and Monty's been a huge upgrade as well. I think Chester just has to get used to the scheme and what we're asking him to do, and then he'll be fine, and Brown is what he is, but altogether, this is the best and most consistent offensive line this team has had in a LONG time, and some of the sacks Rex has taken this season were less on the line and more on Rex.

TE#80 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Browns performances for the year have been about as bad as trents first game performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enter Apotheosis Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 The most impressive is Trent Williams, I'd have to say. As for the rest of 'em... Montgomery is the most visible difference over last year, Lichtensteiger is the most underrated, Chester has the most room for improvement, and Brown has been the most disappointing by far.

Chants Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 The most impressive has been Trent. He was already a quite decent LT last season. He has improved a lot since the start of this season. And being able to run-down linebackers doesn't hurt. He's the star of that line right now. The most impressive upgrade has been Montgomery. I liked Rabach as a smart, hardworking, character player, and I think he's probably going to wind up as a line coach somewhere in the NFL. But i never realized just how bullied around he was until I saw Montgomery play. Montgomery is a lot harder to push back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
