This Is Gross w/ Byron Bell

Well, to be fair, your profession doesn't involve holding off 300 lb angry men 60 times every Sunday.

 

 

lol.... I like that. Its like when in singing competitions the contestants scream "Well you couldn't do it!" to the judges.

 

Fairly silly.

I understand Byron Bell went through a very difficult situation in his life, I knew about the story when he was trying to make the team. But that does not excuse his horrible play as a lineman.

 

he shouldn't be starting.. everyone knows that probably including byron. he is decent depth.

Yep.

 

 

Its going to be a really interesting offseason as far as the OL is concerned. Gettleman has to know it is the main thing holding this team back. Having Amini on IR really showed how thin we are.

    • Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.    
    • Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
