VIDEO: This Walter Jones Bulldozer From 2005 NFC Championship is Among the Filthiest Blocks Ever
By Michael Luciano
While he's revered as an offensive line deity in Seattle, any NFL fan worth their salt knows that former Seahawks Hall of Famer Walter Jones was one of the best tackles in NFL history at both run and pass blocking. This rep from the 2005 NFC Title Game against the Carolina Panthers showed off Jones' unique blend of power and speed.
? of the day is one of the best blocks I’ve ever seen. Walter Jones takes a DE about 15 yards and dumps him in the 2005 NFC championship game. pic.twitter.com/fv4zFMrOfu

They just don't make offensive linemen like him anymore.

Jones, a former Florida State star, made nine Pro Bowls and four first-team All-Pros during his 12-year NFL career. Jones was given the league's highest honor when he was named to the NFL 100 All-Time Team last season.

Jones was one of the best tackles in all of football from Day 1, and his tape backs up his sterling reputation. Jones has taken his well-deserved place in Canton, and hopefully Twitter is able to introduce one of the most dominant linemen of all time to a generation who missed out on seeing him live.
