Anthony Davis doesn't have the speed to handle Clay Matthews. That's why we have Staley over there. If they race Davis can't even hold his jock strap. Davis is more of a RT mauler. Because he did good in the Packer game or whatever doesn't mean much. He wasn't lined up against Clay Matthews. Big difference. Who you line up against makes a difference. The true elites Staley faces every week. Davis gets the 2nd tier pass rushers. So you guys aren't comparing apples to apples.
I'm not sure I follow...
Are you really taking into account straight line speed for an Offensive tackle? If you would've said Staley had more lateral quickness than Anthony Davis, and that is why Joe is on the left and AD on the right then you'd have yourself an intriguing argument. Can you clarify?
