This year's "mean streak" lineman

Yeah that mean streak want mean much if he doesn't have better technique or better feet than he showed today. The best Olineman today was Zion Johnson

I like Johnson a lot based on watching him at BC. I just didn't see much of anything from Senior Bowl OLmen to make me stump for any of them.

Overall bad showing for Oline, but I honestly didn't expect much from the group there. Zion Johnson played well in limited action though. He also played Center which he isn't accustomed to doing. Zion will be a very good LG in the NFL

 

Edit:

Unfortunately we don't have a 2nd round pick to have a chance at him

If we had a 2nd round pick I'd be banging the table for Johnson.

Trevor Penning...

Reports were that he was picking fights in practice.

Some folks don't like that kind of personality because they can make hotheaded mistakes that hurt you in games.

They also tend to play to the whistle and finish their blocks, so...

Always want Olinemen who have a mean streak on the field. Wanna stay away from the ones getting laid out outside of bars by dudes 1/2 their size.

We need more of that.

Penning destroyed his team's own pockets, QB, and RBs lanes while he destroyed anyone who was near him. He would level anyone even if it meant letting his assignment run free while hitting someone else and putting them on the ground. He is a penalty magnet too.

I don't question his size and strength. I do question his awareness and intelligence. He was responsible for rolling up QB at Senior Bowl practice too by throwing an edge rusher who beat him into the knees of the QB.

    • Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....
    • I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end. 
    • We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
