Honestly, it's his run blocking that cheeses me off more than anything. He's a phone booth blocker that tries to punch his guy of base and gets lost once the play goes into space. His footwork sucks and he has absolutely no kick step whatsoever. The guy is a guard.
He also struggles with pass rushers that can stunt a quick inside move. He's okay with bull rushers.
Castonzo has very good footwork and is capable of dealing with speed rushers. He also adjusts extremely well to game time situations and will modify his blocking depending upon the guy he faces right then and there. He also plays nasty and goes past the whistle in finishing blocks. He seals the edge extremely well.
He does struggle against power rushers somewhat, but that's not that big of a deal in the zone system that Haley runs.

Your takes continue to be comical.
We are the #1 rushing team in the NFL (going to the left side) since Albert has been our LT. That, to me, makes him borderline elite at worst and truly elite at best. I can dig up the source for that if you like as it has been posted here multiple times. Just more proof that you either:
a) dont watch the games
or
b) are so jaded while you watch them that you have no clue what you are watching.
Costanzo isnt a run blocker at all and we are a running team until Cassel shows the ability to change that (or someone else does, if given a chance) and at best he is a marginal upgrade as a pass blocker.
If Brandon Albert and Anthony Costanzo were in the same draft, Albert would almost assuredly be the one taken first.
He is such a good pass blocker...
Sure looks like he did a superb job of "sealing the edge" in that video...
wasnt that what you called it when Okung got pushed right into the quarterback last year?
Sealing the ****ing edge...gimme a break.
Dude lunged, extended himself and still got beat repeatedly by about every player he faced of similar ability to Quinn...that was just one of the games I saw him get dominated with my own eyes and knew there had to be a video of it floating around and low and behold...
