[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 913531, member: 12283"] I would add that the reason, in my opinion, why this special class of player doesn't exist on the interior OL is that OL are stationary. You can take a Donald, Buckner, or Jones and move them all over a front to find the matchup that will lead to the production. If a LG is shutting Jones down, but he can move over and eat up the RG, the impact will still be there because iDL are moveable within formation. The best guard in the game is still going to play one spot for the whole game. So while they might be capable of shutting down the opponents' best player, that player can easily avoid the match-up. Hence they don't have the flexibility to guarantee the impact. If an OL was so versatile that a particular guy could play all over and "shadow" a defender like Aaron Donald, then I believe the salaries would rise to reflect that level of impact. But that's just not the way OL's work at the present. [/QUOTE]
