Marcus Gilbert Agrees With Increased Value In Right Tackles

When you think of building an offense, there are usually two positions that come to mind. Getting a quarterback and getting a left tackle to protect him.

But in today’s league, the importance between right and left tackle has blurred. Cleveland Browns’ right tackle Mitchell Schwartz, a fun Twitter follow, talked about how the position is just as important as the left, seeing a bevy of top pass rushers.

Von Miller, Justin Houston, Khalil Mack, JJ Watt, Carlos Dunlap, Cliff Avril (among others) all rush my side…so yes. https://t.co/O62zAMLTNB
