Cool video but I’m sure Myles G had the last laugh had 1 sack but literally controlled the LOS single handedly and completely wrecked the entire game making our highly touted o line look junior high

Quentin went to ND as a LT and I believe the best long term option for this team is to find another interior Guard that can play and slide Q out to LT once Castonzo retires.

 

Would be easier to find another good/great Guard than it would to draft a Tackle. Just a thought of course

Aaron Banks is currently a LG at ND, and there are rumblings within the program that if he decides to come back next year, Kelly will give him the opportunity to slide out and play LT to put a year of tape out there at that position.

 

Something to watch in the future at the G position and having someone with the physicality and athleticism to play multiple positions.

Not 100% true. Nelson was a LT at Red Bank HS and was labeled as an OT in most recruiting profiles simply because of his height/weight, but he started out at OG after his RS year and remained a G. During his RS year, he was limited to the scout team, and I'm sure played both there as most OL are interchangeable on the scout team. He's been at OG though his entire career at ND. 

 

That's not to say he couldn't play OT though. I'd argue though that on the left side, he's probably more important as an OG. Not using his athleticism and pulling, would be a waste.

Lol nelson does stand garret up but that’s about it.. garret only gets driven back when he turns his body to go after the ball carrier to tackle him.. nelson does not dominate him in any way. He doesn’t pancake him or even bring him to the ground. But still nelson did seal him off and made a lane for the rb

Came across this, I’m pretty sure it was in a previous thread but it does show you how much Olinemen depend on one another and that he’s quick to praise AC, Kelly and the backs. I do think we’re going to see Taylor rip off some big gains, once he gets his timing down.

Respectfully, I could not disagree more with this take.  Nelson re-anchors and once he becomes the lowest man, he drives Garrett back with power and balance.

We are not highly touted when Costanzo does not play, huge difference. La’Raven Clark is no Costanzo.

Garrett clearly turns to go after the ball carrier and moves with the entire pile. He doesn’t even go to the ground...Nelson does.

 

It’s a good rep for both players...but definitely not a pancake.

This is what I saw. Garrett just occupying that gap...and then he turns to go after the ball carrier (who should have been met by then). Of course he is pushed back...he’s sideways and Nelson is strong as hell...and the whole pile is moving that way. But he never even goes down somehow.

Not if we can land Leatherwood (I think that’s his name), the LT from Alabama

He drives him back when garret turns to the ball carrier to try to tackle him..

      Ravens-Steelers game postponed until Sunday

      By Myles · Posted

      That makes sense, but the inconsistencies are what is bad.  Denver had no QB's but the game didn't get postponed.   When the Titans game was rescheduled, they only had 8 players test positive and 1 was a long snapper and 2 others were practice squad players.

      What The Titans Did Before The Game

      By bestQBever · Posted

      This is just me but I have NO problem with them doing that to any team. I love it. When they win, they look super cool. When they eventually lose the other team has all the right to clown them which will also be really cool.

      I think he will be back. The injury now makes it almost certain it will be a one year prove it deal. They said Mack has stayed in town working with Taylor and the RB room. That is quite a commitment with covid and having to still go though testing everyday. This team loves Mack. One year for 3 to 4 million will give us a good idea if he bounces back and lets him help his stock for another team if we can’t keep him long term.

      Idea with RYS

      ^ yes to that scouting report, at least in terms of his footwork and play speed/athleticism.   I always saw scouting reports praising his  “fluid hips” and his strength, etc. But his footwork, agility/change of direction, and speed seem so lacking.

      its not about who misses, its about how many.  the league doesnt care who it ends up helping and hurting its just about stopping the spread but not extending the season.   teams that lose a qb or their best defender are kind of screwed by this policy, the ravens and titans  got an extension because there were simply too many to play the game   they dont want forfeits or to prolong the season
