How did LT BC do?

Preliminary report: 

He had more hurries than any other OL, but he was tested more with stunts.  I saw him lose his feet and fall once, similar to a few prior games.  On a few plays his routine block went inside and BC followed him too long, making him late to pick up a blitzing DB--but that is experience, not a lack of skill.  He was not the liability he could have been, and the other side of the OL struggled more.

 I saw the same posters talking up Dennis Daley hyping up BC, so he has that going against him.

Been rewatching him to see if he'd be a potential "Unsung Heroes" focus and the dude did not look good vs TB. Tecklenburg missing adjustments vs the various blitzes TB sent at them didn't do him any favors tho.

Hopefully he looks improved when I get to rewatch the game without drowning it out with booze.

I tried to watch out for him as much as possible, easier said than done.

What I saw were two tackles having to try to carry the load of a crappy interior OL.  I mean, BC wasn't near as bad as Erving usually is.  He had some bad plays, but then again, the NO defense schemed up blitzes that exposed his lack of experience.  The delayed/corner/edge blitzes beat him pretty routinely.

He also did a fair amount of holding that wasn't called, par for the ref crew.  I mean, it wasn't a trash game, but he did some good and had some real "learning" moments.

Would having a real LG next to him help?  How about a Center or QB who can make the calls at the line?  Oh yeah.  

But he wasn't all bad.  Honestly, the iOL was so putrid he was just trying to make something out of nothing.

We're gonna end up taking someone like Evan Neal with our first pick and sliding Brady over to LG.  Hopefully Deonte Brown can get his poo together this off season and we can slot him at RG.  Then we only need a C.

John Miller is literally one of the worst G's I have ever seen.  We seem to have a lot of "worst I've ever seen" guys on this offense this year.  Not good.

Experience? He’s a 25 year old LT who played LT at BYU. Are you saying that stunts and blitzing DBs don’t happen until the NFL? I’m not trying to bash him since he’s barely played but how many times will he give up the play before he gets it right? Also, from my perspective, he wasn’t close to picking up the DB. His only movement was his head moving, which worries me that even if he recognizes it he’s already lost once he starts his inside move due to the stunt.

His age is a concern, but all rookies have college experience when they are called inexperienced.  A QB has seen zone, Man, cover 2, 3, etc. but the game has to slow down for that young QB before he succeeds--and he saw it in college.  The blitz and stunt schemes these pros run blows away anything he saw at BYU---and he was a third rounder, so he did not dominate in college.  And finally, in college he never had to play beside Mike Jordan.

I guess, my bigger worry is if we somehow peg BC as our LT and don’t draft one of the top 3 in this draft.

I get that--there is not enough there to crown him, but most of the problems we are having are coming from A and B gap.

The pro game is completely different from the college game, especially at BYU.  That's why BC should have been starting and playing a LOT more.  

Another thing is the lack of communication.  Without good communication, the OL will struggle.  Because we've been playing shuffle the OL since August, there's next to zero chemistry, no one really knows what/how to communicate in our offense (that's a coaching issue).

BC has to improve.  But the only way that will happen is via reps and better coaching.  Is he a better option than some of these other draft guys?  Nope.  I'd be thrilled if we could draft a true franchise LT, but it's going to come down to coaching, either way.

Rhule and his incompetent staff need to go.  Period.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
