    he's 6'3" (32 1/2 inch arms) (Taylor Lewans at 33 7/8 inches), so maybe youre right, normally teams like their Tackles to have a large wingspan, but Levitre has good form, his issues are he gets bull rushed by 320lb DT's and can't stop them.

    I could be wrong, but I believe he played Tackle in College. That said, I'm so disgusted with his play, at that salary, that the only vindication for me is for his butt to be cut.

    This is actually not a bad idea.

    But I'm sure the team enjoys seeing him getting bitched around by 300+ lb DTs.

    Terrible idea. RTs are no longer seeing easier pressure in a lot of these fronts. Levitre probably has short arms for RT as well.

    All in all a terrible idea and thread Brave.

    6'2 (playing weight fluctuates between 295 and 305) and he has short arms.

    Normally, you want 6'5 315 (and up) right tackles with 35" arms to hold off pass rushers.

    eh yes and no, ideally you want the longer body, but this drafts top Tackle has 33" arms, compared to Levitre thats a fingernail longer...

    Your right, that (to me) is ideal RT size and arm length (34" to 35")

    NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If you want him to give up twice as many sacks and twice as many pressures....go for it. But terrible idea! He's in the shorter side, lighter side, and has short arms. He gets beat with power and when players redirect against him....especially the quicker guys. That should tell you the only worse position for him than RT would be LT.

    Levitre will be beaten a lot more at RT than at guard where he has some protection on both sides as a guard!!!

    Need to sign a cheaper starting RT and maybe trade Eagles a 6th rnd pick (or 2) for Evan Mathis to replace Levitre. Then Levitre takes a drastic pay cut or can explore a trade or he gets cut!
