Probably the best LT we have had the last 15-20 yrs.

Itd be close, imo I give it to Walter. But they are the top 2 for sure. Pace was probably better early, but seemed to fall off quicker. Both came into the league in 97 I think. Jones was more productive the last years he was healthy.

I would give the nod to Jones over Pace...although, both are def hall of famers.

I don't have Jones that high...a notch below Pace and Ogden. I'd put him there with Chris Samuels.

Jones and Pace are the best 2 OTs of the last 2 decades, people can argue which was better, but Ogden was 3rd, not better than either of those 2.

Im not high on Ogden. He blew the last couple years. Whenever anyone who was quick was line-up (IE, Freeney since I watched the Colts games) he got owned every time they passed.

only 9 holds in your entire career and only 23 sacks allowed?

That's some REAL consistency out of a position there for ya

Flozell had 9 holds in a game, gtfo. Joking, although it seemed like he did most games.
