Gas2No99 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Never saw Powell play, but it seems it's congruent to Brick. Solid Cornerstones that are not League ELite, but MORE THAN sufficient for us. #4 overall - Brick has been, and still is, a HUGHE STONE in the foundation that this team has had in terms of success.

Savage69 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 How would you folks compare the careers of ; Marvin Powell Brick Ferguson Powell was a 5 time pro bowler and a 3 time All Pro. Brick made 3 Pro Bowls so far.. One thing they had in common they were both the 4th pick in the first rd in their draft years.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 they seem to be on a similar pro career path as good tackles to depend upon but not elite status Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Schroy Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I saw Powell play. He was more consistent than Brick. He was a great run blocker too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 too bad that Chris Ward was so terrible for so long during powells career. I don't remember how many Wesley walker tds were called back due to "holding number 72 offense" but it seemed like there were a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peekskill68 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Jets have always seemed to have really good centers, too. John Schmitt in the 60's, Joe Fields in the 80's, Mawae in the late 90's and now Mangold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peekskill68 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 What I admire about Powell and even more so with old timers like Winston Hill is that they held up when the rules for defensive linemen were outrageous. Guys like Hill had to go up against dudes like Ben Davidson and Buck Buchanon, who were probably taping scrap metal to their forearms and then head slapping the opposing lineman...

RutgersJetFan Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 After this season, Brick will have been the starting left tackle for a decade. The franchise hasn't even had to think about anyone else for a skill position for 10 years. If that's not worth a high 1st I don't know what is.

Jetworks Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Never saw Powell play, but it seems it's congruent to Brick. Solid Cornerstones that are not League ELite, but MORE THAN sufficient for us. #4 overall - Brick has been, and still is, a HUGHE STONE in the foundation that this team has had in terms of success. I did, Powell was excellent. After Winston Hill, I'd say he was the best OT the Jets had. Brick has been a very solid veteran, certainly well-above average, but he and Powell shouldn't be in the same conversation IMO. To give you an idea of just how good Powell was; two of his 3 nods for All-Pro First Team were alongside arguably the greatest OT to play the game, fellow Trojan Anthony Munoz.
