Even IF you think doing reps against the post is as productive as going against an actual human (and it's not)...
There's probably 10+ guys in that position group, and ONE post.
If every rep is a learning opportunity, wouldn't the goal be to maximize the number of quality learning opportunities per minute of practice?
Pair them up and now you have all 10 guys working at once, rather than 9 guys watching while their buddy tries to block Post Johnson IV.
Which approach maximizes learning opportunities? π

You can also use your dick to stop the door banging shut too. But you don't .
I believe arguments can be made for Trent, Walter, and Erick Williams. Today the game is much smaller and faster. Walter and Williams faced much larger DL and LBers which are harder to move or get great finishes.
I believe we are watching the greatest run blocking tackle of all-time in Trent Williams, who at 38 is still elite. His consistency, longevity and length of dominance is what a first-ballot HOF OL career looks like.
