Hope you guys enjoy this one!

 

Props to Landon Tengwall.
Alot of the so-called "analysts" just throw around words of the day.
This guy breaks down like a HS coach explaining the position to his
players, and I mean this as a compliment.

Also, Congdon may have come from a small school, but someone coached
him up well.

 

Nice film breakdown, Landon. Good to see that his recognition is so quick, which allows him to play fast.

Kinda crazy seeing him lined up next to Samson. Pancake is not a small guy yet Congdon makes him look like a basketball player.

 

Smh buddy should’ve had 4 games of experience under his belt at guard by now!! Wasted all that time starting SJ! By time we play ND bro would’ve already been a seasoned vet

I think it’s been spelled out he was banged up too as well still learning all the protections. Probably a huge reason you have Pancake making so many Oline calls as OP pointed out on the film session. That’s not something you see especially happening with the starting LT.

Usually all the protection calls come from the QB and center. We need to see Congdon grow from here though with all of the LG reps.

 

 

Im excited, once the other guard spot is settled we may have a real oline. Thats the only thing holding the team back from a championship run imo.

 

I don’t like publicly putting down any players but he needs to be an emergency Oline sub situation at G going forward.

Yeah I’m not saying he should never play again. Just needs to be fully dedicated to center. He’s wasting double reps when he’s at guard - his and someone else’s.

Partially true here. They all communicate. Protections start with the center but adjustments can come from guards and tackles especially calling out stunts based on alignment. Just signs of a well prepped unit.

Of course they all communicate. You don’t see your LT pointing out the calls and overflow all the time to the LG like that. I love to see it from our team.

SJ definitely didn’t know the protection lmao
Okay I’m done ragging on buddy.. unless he gives me further reason to

leave SJ alone.. we are going to need him at points this season. Just hopefully not for extended periods.

 

An extra dose of Tengwall:

@Landon Tengwall your breakdown combined with complete explanations is by far the best I’ve ever seen.

@DMoney thanks for finding this guy. You put out a great product.

 

I just rewatched the game completely focused on the offensive line. Holy **** is there a complete 180 in our entire lines performance when 58 is in over 65. Film don't lie and Mirabal has absolutely no excuse to play SJ for another second at Guard again. Congdon is ahead of him NOW and his ceiling is higher. SJ is a center and that is that.

 

All hail King Congdon!

 

Not only SJ, but Mccoy is getting worked at RT. We need Cantwell to take that spot asap, and let Mccoy go back to guard. That lineup needs to start getting chemistry together yesterday, as it is by far the best for a playoff run. I hope we see it soon.


LT - Samson
LG - Congdon
C - Rodriguez
RG - Mccoy
RT - Cantwell

 

Congdon exceeded SJs snap count at G despite not starting at all. Seemed like they tried it one final time and then had enough. Made the most of it. Ironically, SJ played 2nd C and snapped the ball well. No idea what to make of the "No one can snap" chatter...

Great work as always, @Landon Tengwall.

McCoy is one of the best RTs in the nation and is not moving inside. Unfortunately Cantwell just isn’t ready, and as of today McCoy is better than him at tackle.

I believe the “he can’t snap” chatter was started by D$ last spring when SJs first arrived, playing center for the first time in his life. Since then the narrative has been overblown by CIS overreacting mopes. I always find it interesting, how the guys who have seen the least of these players some how know so much about their “limitations”

Mario stated several times in interviews over the summer that SJ has been solid at snapping the ball, but since it didn’t fit the narrative no one cared to believe it.

They were on point. Didn't even realize at first he was in there.

That’s his natural intelligence paired with his experience inside at guard paying off for Samson. Congdon playing between Samson and Ryan should help in his development.
