	Offensive team
		The offensive team or offense in American football or Canadian football, is the team that begins a play from scrimmage in possession of the ball.
		The offensive unit in American football consists of a quarterback, linemen[?], backs, and recievers.
		The area from one tackle top the other is an area of "close line play" in which some blocks from behind, which are prohibited elsewhere on the field, are allowed.

	USATODAY.com - Utah's Gross emerges as top offensive tackle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		It helps to have long arms to extend into a rusher's pads, or as one scout put it, to be a bit "goosey." Right tackles generally aren't as good on their feet but often are bigger, counted on for their power in plowing holes for the running game.
		Jordan Gross, the top-rated tackle in the draft, could be first player from a Utah school drafted in the top 10 since Brigham Young's Jim McMahon was nabbed by the Bears in 1982.
		What some NFL team will get in Gross is a versatile blocker who played both tackle spots and guard in college and hasn't allowed a sack since his sophomore year, when former California defensive end (and current San Francisco 49er) Andre Carter took him to school on a long afternoon.

	Top Offensive Tackles
		One of if not the most loaded tackle classes in years with as many as 4 tackles selected in the first round topped by Virginia's massive left tackle, D'Brickashaw Ferguson.
		He is the most athletic offensive tackle in this year's draft class, as well as the most efficient in pass protection.
		In a year chock full of elite offensive tackles, Trueblood might be the most underrated.

		However, many prospects at offensive tackle will eventually be moved to center or guard once they enter college if they lack overall athleticism or ideal height.
		The prospects that stay at either left offensive tackle or right offensive tackle are likely to be at least 6-foot-5, 275 pounds when they enter college and have the frame to add weight and the athleticism to maintain their speed and footwork.
		The right offensive tackle is usually a little more physical because he is more involved in the run game.

	Apr. 3, 2006 - NFL Draft Preview: There’s talent at tackle
		Reggie Bush has run behind a dominant offensive line the past couple of years and the top blocker at USC is Winston Justice, 6-6, 320, who's decided to enter the draft as a junior.
		Winston has the skills to be a terrific left tackle and some team is likely to pick him on the promise of what he'll become when he's completely recovered.
		He moved to left tackle last season and wasn't great, but he clearly can be a dominant force at guard and offers great upside as a second-round prospect.

		The team's anchor at the demanding left offensive tackle position, Isaac was one of the more consistent drive blockers in the collegiate ranks as a senior.

	Philadelphia Eagles
		The Eagles have had all of that at the offensive tackle positions over the recent years, in large part because Tra Thomas and Jon Runyan were Pro Bowl-caliber players who played down-in, down-out, every week.
		He remains one of the best in the game at that spot, and thanks to a regiman of shedding unwanted pounds and staying mentally strong in a game that is physically relentless, Runyan has plenty of gas in his tank.
		After that, the tackle class lacks immediate star power, but there are said to be players worth developing.

		The 2006 draft produced the fewest first-round offensive linemen since 1990, and of the three selected in the first round, only D'Brickashaw Ferguson (Jets, No. 4 overall) was a tackle.
		He sometimes took a back seat to former UT offensive tackle Jonathan Scott in terms of media exposure over the past two seasons, but not with NFL scouts who consider Blalock to be a potentially more impressive talent.
		He moved to left tackle as a sophomore and was recognized as the Irish's offensive lineman of the year.

		He's an impressive young man and certainly fits the mold of the kind of tackle I'd like to have which is real tall and real big and pretty fast too.
		A lot of times they're going against a lot of undersized players that are a little bit quicker so they've got to rely on their athletic ability and speed more than their strength and power.

		The Patriots' offensive line of Light and right tackle Tom Ashworth, guards Russ Hochstein and Joe Andruzzi and center Dan Koppen clearly won the battle in the trenches against the Panthers' renowned defensive line.
		Even one of the Patriots' scouts described Light as not quick enough to be a prototypical left tackle and not powerful enough to be a model right tackle.

		In the third round, the Rams took safety Oshiomogho Atogwe of Stanford and controversial offensive lineman Richie Incognito, who was kicked out of Nebraska and Oregon for violating team rules and sat out last season.
		Once Oklahoma offensive tackle Jamaal Brown and Georgia safety Thomas Davis went off the board, Barron was the player the Rams wanted, and unlike most teams, they used less than half of their allotted 15 minutes to make the pick.
		Barron is only the second offensive lineman that the Rams have taken on the first day in Martz’s six years of running the draft.
