How many NY Giants will make 2021 All-NFC East offense?
Offensive tackles: Lane Johnson, Philadelphia Eagles, Tyron Smith, Dallas Cowboys
Lane Johnson is one of the premier offensive tackles in the game, and an anchor along the Eagles’ offensive line. Last season, opponents only managed to generate pressure against Johnson five times and he only allowed one sack during an injury-plagued campaign. If Johnson can stay healthy and on the field, the Eagles’ offensive line has the potential to be one of the league’s more improved.
Meanwhile, Smith has been a model of consistency for the Cowboys, and one of the key reasons that Dallas always seems to boast one of the league’s most dominant lines. In an injury-shortened 2020 season, Smith allowed just five quarterback pressures in 111 pass-blocking snaps. A sturdy and reliable veteran presence, if Smith can return to health, the expectations for the Cowboys’ offense should be elevated.
