pick 20

I would be more concerned with him switching right side to left side over making the move from OT to OG.

 

So again, given how historically Arthur Smith needs his Offensive Lineman to be essentially super athletes at their position, Dunker doesn't fit the mold here. It isn't me saying it as a fact but pattern recognition from what is known about how Arthur Smith's Offense has operated historically.

 

McCormick played LG in college so maybe he wouldn't have to.

 

Spencer Anderson also filled in well.

 

Anthony Midget is gone as a DB coach already.

 

A precursor to Teryl being jettisoned?!


I wouldn't mind it!

 

There is still the possibility of drafting another OT and replacing the entire left side. That guy from Bama, Proctor, is simply massive. Got an eye on that one.

 

a lot comes down to who fits. we run a lot of outside zone. i want a guy that can do what we do. (< i hate saying that.) depends on if our O-Line coach is kept. we need to match up guys that have played what we play a good bit so it doesn't mess everyone else up. cook knows the system well. i don't want a guy from a power run system or more inside zone to have to change and learn a whole different concept. that does depend on brains though. i want smart not just size. give me smart and large and quick footed and we will have something. i do believe that is jones problem.

 

I read on here the speculation that Jones just doesn't know football as much as he should. He's gotten by till now because he was the bigger, faster, stronger guy vs most of his opponents. You have to be able to process the game as well as have the physical traits at the NFL level.
That's another possibility. Jones moves inside to LG and Cook plays LT next season. I don't know. It is going to be fun watching it play out though.

 

i'm hoping we actually grab a free safety at some point in the first 3 rounds. there are some pretty good ones in this class.

 

Not so sure Proctori massive size produces results. Bama running game was atrocious.
Why they failed terrible against Indiana.

 

It's been a strange football season on my tv for both college and NFL. Normally, I would see certain teams most every weekend. I don't think I got a single Bama game other than the Iron Bowl this year. I didn't watch the SECCG so I don't know if it was on or not.


All that to say...Proctor is freaking huge! I did get several Bama games in 2024. I felt like what I was watching then was very impressive. Maybe he has regressed???


I think he will be pretty good for some team.

 

Proctor needs to lose some weight to be effective in the NFL.
