Offensive Tackle:

1) QB Protection - The left OT has to be the best athlete on the line. As most QB's are right handed, their blind side is the left side. Since the best rushing DT is normally coming from the blind side, the left OT has to use finesse to keep him away from the QB - many times with no help from the TE! So, this poster should be very active, be able to have his ideas stand alone from others, and has the flare to his posts that keep the members happy!

2) Physicality - For a right OT, physical strength is important because most offenses run over the right side of the line. The OT needs to create the outside lane for a RB on a standard run play (In the immortal words of Vince Lombardi at the blackboard: "What we need is a seam here," etc...). This poster comes strong with his ideas and creates a lane for others to make a topic grow and grow.

3) Big guys with foot speed - Just as with an OG, the tackle should have a big presence on the line. At the same time, this giant should possess the ability to use his feet to gain leverage on an opposing defender. Basically, they can run through those rope squares really fast! I would say the ideal OT should be a poster that has big ideas in one message (that take a lot of space!) but still has the speed to contribute to as many forums as he can.

Please nominate or second the person you feel best exemplifies these traits at HuskerBoard.

Ineligible: Cy the Cyclone, Hack

 
Nominate: Blaze1up

The guy posts everywhere. He is knowledgeable about football and lots of "things" in the Shed. He definitely "creates a lane" for others, as in, he starts topics that others post in, often. Usually appreciatively.

Can't. You should know the rules, home boy, since you were my alternate last year. Snap out of it!

I'll second the nomination, home booiiii

 
Here's why I'm such a stickler for "the rules" in this thing. If we allow people to nominate and second at will, eventually this will turn into a circle-jerk of about 15 guys nominating, seconding and voting for each other over and over. It'll lose its intent, which is to give a pat on the back to the folks who make HuskerBoard cool. There are less than 40 spots in this thing, meaning a lot of our best Users will always get left out. So the more folks who participate in this the better.

If it happened longer than yesterday, I've already forgotten it :LOLtartar

So if we nominate someone, we can't second a nomination in the same position?

 
Thanks Okieland and kansas husker. Im a little undersized to be offensive tackle, need to gain about 100 more lbs., but the King can change that. No, but seriously, this is pretty cool to be nominated considering Ive been on this board less than a year. Thanks guys!
