Yep. I was thinking that the other day. An overwhelming majority of QBs are right-handed passers, so teams started getting left tackles to protect their blind sides.

There's a good book I read during the off-season about Michael Oher and it discussed that the left tackle position really didn't gain value until guys like L.T. and our beloved D.T. came into the league and started making QBs very nervous.

With a lot of D's now going to the 3-4, the right tackle position is now becoming valuable as well.
