Tell me more about how you move laterally in cleats on grass while keeping your foothold in the ground...

Don't worry. 

I'll eventually get to a breakdown on Moton. You'll see exactly why he was a top 3 pass blocker from this class.

I'm not arguing he's not top-3 at his position.  I LOVE the pick.  But the fact remains he still has elements of his game he can refine.

He's a rookie.  

He's a 2nd round pick.

Way to accentuate the obvious.

My fault.  I thought a discussion board about the Carolina Panthers was the place to come to discuss said second round picks.  And in a thread dedicated to said rookie, to boot.  Maybe I'm confused.

I think people are just giving you poo because you're making a sweeping judgement on a player off of one still image where he's finishing a block on an engagement he's obviously won.

Yeah you can't base an opinion of a football player's skills by a still shot. I mean, you can, but you shouldn't.

I'm on the Motown train

@Jeremy Igo how would you compare him to Otah back coming into mini camp.  He was a Massive RT much like Moton

lateral movement and footwork are mutually exclusive.  coaches want OLmen to move laterally while keeping their foothold in the ground.

Where was my sweeping judgment? I acknowledged they are still frames. Looking at those still frames shows a player on his toes. That's something to comment on, no? Typical #HuddleReax

Moton is good but his movment seem little bit choppier than Daryl Williams .I still see Williams winning the RT job with Moton providing backup duty for all position on the line. 

Moton is more likey canidate for replacing Kalil in couple of years a Center.

He was a very solid pick. I've heard that some say him being from a small school will "hurt him," but I say his production says otherwise.

Moton's run and pass blocking were near the top percentile. For a 320lb guy, he's got crazy athleticism and power.

Just imagining his ferocity on the field that he puts in drills gives me chills.

I like Daryl Williams. I honestly do. But Moton is another guy I'd love as a pure RT. One of the best pass blockers from the class, and I'm sure Igo saw a glimpse of that.

Am I reading the graph right to suggest he is only below average on screen blocking? I wonder if pulling on some of our sweeps or reverses is included in run blocking?

Think about how the offensive scheme could impact those scores. Idk what type of offensive scheme Moton served in so playcalling might impact that concern you have (maybe or maybe not). All the other scores verify that he is solid and gets the job done for the most part compared to his counterparts.

Agreed.  Did you happen to attend the ECU graduation last night?
