The knock on Nate is his strength, and I am not sure he'll do so well against a more powerful lineman. For instance I suspect Haynesworth could pick him up and throw him into the QB if he was lined up against him.
oh...well...that changes things drastically...I thought you were inmate #0729...doing time for robbery...phew...feeling much better now...just gotta shake off the yips...:scared:
One of the most impressive aspects of the impressive win last night was the superb play of Solder. He's a rookie, correct? Sure didn't look like it to me. Wow!
Actually it is Rob and 0729 is my bank account password (I trust you guys not to drain my bank account). But plenty of people have called me a zero in my life.
I saw several plays where Solder not only buried Wake but took him to the ground and basically flopped on top of him. Those pancakes must be really demoralizing for a DL. To his credit, Wake kept coming and eventually got a sack on a 2nd effort move. But man, for the most part Solder was physically dominating that matchup.

Wake comes in at weird angles often close to the ground like a gopher or something. Solder played it smart by just pushing him to the ground and falling on top of him.

Nate..What are you doing picking on that Pro Bowler like that?
He wasnt Solders man on the sack. There was a blitz and Solder picked up the outside man. I don't remember who has Wake, but it wasnt Solder.I saw several plays where Solder not only buried Wake but took him to the ground and basically flopped on top of him.

Nate Solder spent so much time throwing him to the ground and then simply laying on top of him that I thought they were going to get a room after the game.They kept showing replays of Solder at right tackle versus pro bowler Cameron Wake, who had 14 sacks last year. Solder was repeatedly dominating Wake, whether it be by throwing him to the ground and burying him, or pushing him back or redirecting him.
VERY IMPRESSIVE, not just for a rookie but also a traditional left tackle playing right tackle in a shortened off-season.
