It's a hard combination to beat.

But... He hasn't met JJ Watt yet!
Sorry but Watt is just a monster. I had very high hope for him during draft time, and he still blows me away.

I think Solder was an out and out draft steal and a terrific pick. Looking back on that draft there would only be (IMO) 7 players i would have picked ahead or equal to Nate... and that's with the help of hindsight and each is a pretty damn good football player.

J. J. Watt
Von Miller†
Aldon Smith
A. J. Green†
Patrick Peterson†
Julio Jones
Tyron Smith

Agree in a sense but lets be realistic... Watt has been dominant this year even if Solder Shares the spoils with Watt in the next game it would be a pretty immense effort by him Watt is just a beast. Then He will get to line up against both Smiths at some point the week after... Should be a real test of his progress to date. He holds those 3 monsters in check and i think he will start to get some national recognition.

Watt plays all over the place; a decent amount of the time is over the RT, but not anywhere greatly pronounced.

Left side more for sure; anywhere from just outside tackle in.

He lined up the least over Center (or shading).

We leave the C alone often on passing downs.
On first and 10, it will be mostly with Shaun Cody, who just got off the injury bug. He's our true NT even though he's just a little tiny version of yours.
He's been injured and just got back, but he holds the point pretty well.

We have a very balanced team across the board with few superstars.
A good majority of the fans don't even truly realize that's where the success come from.

Personally, I think we've been having success lately due to the team mentality.

Even a guy like Antonio Smith who's been to the SB is having a good time.
Guys are hungry and they're working hard, but they still have fun together.

They are all very committed to the task.

We haven't won anything yet.
We still have miles to go.

They're working to make the most of this chance; that's how I see it.

It's going to be a good fight, all I can tell you guys.

Von Miller. Aldon Smith. JJ Watt. Julio Jones. Patrick Peterson.

Actually, 2011 draft was a pretty impressive one. Lee Smith and Markell Carter are MIA though. Also Malcolm Williams. IRas Dowling was a sketchy pick that high though.

Normally if takes a while for an O-lineman to get national recognition.
Solder isn't there yet. He still needs to continue to work hard and improve.
Nothing is a given to linemen; the exceptions are very few and far in between, right!?
