Top 10 NFL Right Tackles - NY Times - Behind the Steel Curtain

Top 10 NFL Right Tackles - NY Times

More evidence that Willie Colon is a pretty good RT. This time from the NY Times Fifth Down Blog which has him ranked the #6 RT in the NFL.

I think it's time to admit that the Steelers were right about Colon and give Colbert some props for drafting him.

wtf does the nyt know about tackles? just kidding....

I know a lot of ppl on here don’t like colon, but I think he’s okay. If he could just keep BB outta trouble….seriously, the guy has been pretty decent….

Colon is the class clown

If you saw the O-Line Confidential episode last year, he was definitely the biggest personality present. A small point in his favor. His performance on the first play of the final drive in XLIII was, while not beastly, another point.

I think Colon made a huge improvement in 2009

but I think he still gives away some silly penalties. If he can cut them out I’m fine with him long term as the Steelers RT. profootballfocus.com I think graded him out as the best RT in the league last year, though god knows what their criteria is(are?). The big problem last year for me was Interior OL. Overall I think our Tackles did a bang up job. Sure they weren’t perfect but I think a lot of teams in the NFL would switch OTs with us if given the chance.
