I struggled with the same concerns about our newest guards.  However, I am less concerned about Moore than Brown.   We shall see, but I LOVE Moore and hope he can get there.  And you have to run the ball in A gap too, so maybe their strengths will offset.  I wish I knew more about this Blitz.  I am just trying to piece it together and look at it all as they might be--

I love Moore, don't get me wrong, and I hope he makes the team.  

The video you posted clearly shows Moore is willing to get up the field and block at the second level.  That's great.   Still his agility scores were horrible and his 40 time pretty mediocre.  How is he going to be able to make plays like these when his opponents in the NFL are much, much better and more athletic than the FCS players he faced previously ?   That's the biggest question for me.

The old cut blocking technique worked wonders for making poop RBs look like superstars because it scared the defensive linemen into thinking they were about to lose their ACLs.

Well that, plus a sad number of those defensive lineman did lose their ACLs.

Mentioned one of our own above. That wasn't against Denver but it was the same scheme.

I didn't read the whole thread, but I'm guessing it was Al Wallace.

I can tell you that I will be so focused on preseason this year, I might get nervous before the games.

And what I do not know is this--were Denver and Washington running outside zone schemes or wide schemes?  I imagine there is a combination of both---but I am not that familiar with other teams.

Don't know about Washington, but Gibbs was Denver's OL coach for a lot of the Shanahan years.

Some of y'all are making good points and sharing valid concerns etc.  that is making me more curious about it.  I will say this---Pat Meyer has his work cut out for him, but from what he did last year with that group, I have faith.

Probably also worth remembering that our head coach has some background working as an O-line coach.

Voth not long ago said that somebody was assigned to help Remmers with Miller, but they didn't do it. A few people on here speculated it might have been Mike Tolbert.

That's kind of still on coaching though. How do you let a guy get away with not doing what you told him to do? And if he won't, couldn't you tell someone else?

Yeah, if a guy is blowing his assignments bench his ass.

If nothing else there's always a use for Brown & Moore in short yardage - 3rd & 2, goal line, jumbo package, etc.  

Basically with these two, when we're inside the 5 it will be lots of rushing TD.  

That alone should make the case for both of them making the final roster.

      Every single player to ever play in the league has had a “welcome to the NFL, rook” moment.  Every. Single. One.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I can tell you've done your research on him from this post, as I had part of it in that response at first but removed it as for whatever reason I just felt my explanation of what I was trying to say felt clunky and wasn't getting my point across. It's the varying his speeds during routes part. I actually think that's why he had so many people saying he didn't seem like he had urgency in his route running, because he does THAT so well, and I think sometimes people see it and think he's loafing it out there but he's really just playing mind games with the DB's a lot of the time. He was soooooo good at those "I'm going to fake only running a 5-7 yard slant to sit in the hole but half as second before I know the QB is going to throw me the ball I'm going to take off at full speed" type of routes. We loved running those with him, he'd just run a slow short slant while the action is to the other side of the field through a play action or first read to the opposite side, and then he'd just take off on just enough of an angle to give him space on the defender and catch the pass in stride so he never slows down and gets those long strides moving. And yes, he's great at improvising.  Part of it is that him and our QB have played together since the 8th grade, but it's also something Bryce excels at so I think the two of them will build chemistry on those fast.

      I gave you a full breakdown and examples from last year as to why I think it's unfair to expect 1k from T-Mac this year if everyone stays healthy. But the TLDR version is we will have 4 legitimately good WRs next year, most rookies who get to 1,000 yards don't have any others on the team with them let alone 3 others, it will be hard for him to put up 1k with out the others being injured or falling short of expectations themselves, but in 2026 without Thielen it's different. Because again, I'm not assuming major injuries or games missed when I'm putting expectations out there for the season, I'm assuming good health.  If those other 3 WRs combine to miss a lot of time, then yes, he needs to get to 1k in that scenario.
