This might come as a bit of a surprise given how bad the starting offense looked to begin the season, but it looks like both Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt are still among the best tackles in the league (when healthy, of course).
When utilizing the pass and run block grades from Pro Football Focus, both Slater and Alt are in the upper echelon of qualifying tackles (minimum 50 snaps played this season). Specifically, Joe Alt is pretty dang close to being the best in the NFL. If to the right and up is where
you want to be, it’s either him or Penei Sewell.
Not bad, I’d say!
Now the question is, can they get and stay healthy?
