Who cares what anybody says or writes? All that matters is what actually happens on the field 17 (and hopefully more) times this fall and winter. Opinions have always been like a******s - in that everybody has one. But one thing that’s different nowadays is that most people can publish them, and many do. And, for some reason, a lot of people get worked up about opinions they don’t like. Hopefully Carson will shut all his critics up. But it’s up to him, his coaches, and his teammates to do that. -

If you're going to Blitz, you gotta have people that can either cover, or tackle on the spot. -

I think you are making a mistake between the distinction. Edge have their particular "athletic traits" that they need to score well in. OL have their particular "athletic traits" that they need to score well in. What you are doing, is saying that the athletic traits of edge are more valuable. And that is bias. While it may be a generally accepted rule, that Edge is more important than OT, it is pure opinion. Take a look at the last super bowl. A great tackle generally cancels out a great Edge. (Or limits their production to something winnable) Imagine Bac from the packers and Mack. If they went one on one, they would generally result in a stale mate. Actually, if you look at it based on pure reps, the tackles generally win most snaps. Not that you are wrong, I just think you are presenting it as factual, when it is bias. Also, the reason the conversation transitions to value, is because you are basing the "athletic rating" on the DE position. Of course if you take a LT and put him at DE he would score poorly. The same applies in the opposite. You cannot compare their "athletic ability" when the results have different indications of fit. (Roles are entirely different) -

So you don't think edges require a higher level of speed, agility, and burst? Perhaps you should take a look at the vast majority of RAS profiles of Edges vs OL. Not saying OLs aren't athletic. They just have a different trait profile, and Edge requires more of certain things than OL.
