I vote pace. He is clearly a better pass blocker and while i believe big jackie was a better run blocker, i think the opponents are better today than what slater played against.

What a pair of bookends those two would have been! Lets hope alex barron exceeds the level of Irv Pankey, who was big jackie's partner for many years and was an excellent tackle in his own right.

Ramming speed to all

Again, we are comparing players from different eras. Different play, different techniques, different rules. I loved Slater for his intensity and leadership. Pace is one he!! of a good lineman. I'm just glad we can call both of them RAMS.
