When is that Matthews decommitment post?
Can either of them play nickel?Can Buchanan snap?
Not sure honestly. I remember it was one of the positions we gave him some reps at during camp. Just don't remember the results.Can Buchanan snap?
Consider the source lol come on guys.
No it’s notPlan for sj has always been center. He just struggles with snapping up to this point. You know the most important part.
That’s like saying Malik Rosier was a pretty good QB, except when it came to throwing.
id still go center in the portal...( they arent that expensive)Also getting Max back to push for the RG position. I think next seasons OL doesn’t need a portal starter, but I would like to see the staff add 2 portal guys to add to the depth and competition

Nah. It's pretty **** similar actually. A QBs job is to throw the ball. The centers job is to snap the ball. If he struggles with snapping then the primary function of his job he struggles with. It's like having a call center with no phones or internet. Lol. I think sj will figure it out though. He's looked a lot better on the right side than he did on the left for whatever reason. BUT guard isn't his position. It's either center or West Coast here we come. My 2 cents that's all.No it’s not

He was just extended in January 0 chance he is fired.Is AM waiting until after signing day to fire Elko, or is that even a thing anymore with portal?

i already even said some targets in fau's center and maryland's current center who is pretty good michael herhsey.
rhys looks like the center in waiting. i keep sj at guard...(this is my thoughts not coach)es
i like the juco guy as a back fill
i expect to lose like a minaya and maybe another ol to transfer.
not sure of matthews flips bit of we land him that would be major.
Im in the opinion on not over valuing are guys and on a mario team having elite of the elite in the trenches..we played around and did that this off szn n basically only targeted a tackle that lane kiffin out recruited us for n brought in a walk on level player in cline for emergency, Merrriwether a second option type in the portal and hawks late from juco.
Go get you 2 starter level players out of the portal and let the chips fall.
Im personally going after a Tackle as if Samson is gone...Playing around in the portal is how you get left out.
i dont see the bolles as he is a true freshman thats injured.We will lose in the portal:
Minaya
Campbell
Wilkerson
And maybe one more like the kid from bolles
I mostly agree but the problem is...only one portal now. These kids taking a risk if they dont jump in the initial portal. Will be interesting to monitor.i dont see the bolles as he is a true freshman thats injured.
Minaya may be able to fetch some nil an playing time else where.
Wilkerson/Campbell were always long term projects...maybe one of the two get itchy but not both. These guys will stay an fight in the spring to see where it fits.
We should always have a top 10 ol so pley the portal EVERY Year for grown men to fill starter roles or back fill for lost.
Look we have guys transfer out that are starters at big programs on the OL.

I don’t think Minaya has the foot speed to fetch NIL, maybe he could maul some NILi dont see the bolles as he is a true freshman thats injured.

YesWould Kinsler have made much of a difference this season?
Brother he wasn't talking about semantics. He was simply being as sarcastic as I was. A center who can't snap consistently is a center who's incapable of executing the primary function of his job. No different from any QB who's not capable of throwing the ball consistently. The fact Malik happened to be a dead on example since he was **** when it came to passing just made the irony stand out that much more. If we were analyzing details of the job you'd be dead on. The fact that worthless **** would put screens into the ground consistently just cut a lil sharper.Does a Center require touch on his snaps?
Does a Center have different reads to snap?
Does a Center have more than one depth to snap too? (Ok, pistol vs shotgun maybe)
Does a Center have to deal with a pass rush while trying to snap?
You wanna say Malik Rosier who couldn’t toss a pitch on a sweep, maybe. Maybe. There is so much more that goes into the throwing process of a QB than a C with a snap. Imagine if a QB only had to throw 5 yard quick outs to the tight end all day. Even Kirby Freeman could’ve mastered that.
I think.
