Stop making excuses for Zion, he's not ready to contribute this year. He ia a liability period. He's already gotten one QB injured and is currently working on the next one.
It’s because he’s very athletic and he’s tough. His issues are correctable. But he’s obviously not ready now.
Dawg u killed me!!!Tommy Kennedy needs to get slapped with some baby powder.
I agree, but Baxa is in the running.I have never seen a more pathetic overall player.
He is not bad when it comes to run blocking, but pass blocking he is to inconsistent to be considered a starter.This is bs. He gets in trouble at times but other times he looks borderline dominant
He had to have a rivals rating simply because of his size, but I don't understand why he's still starting. He never really a 'big' OL.Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I went back and rewatched every single snap Zion has taken.
I'm sure he is a fine young man, but he has no business playing LT.
The coaching staff is just allowing him to be humiliated play after play on TV.
Here is what I see:
- Overall looks "lost" with no confidence on what he is supposed to do, when, and to who
- ALWAYS .5 seconds behind rushing DE or outside blitz
- His legs are too far back as a base when he engages defenders....fug sake my old *** could spin him...he bends over at the waist....just look at Perry's first sack against UVA...classic OL beat on outside by DE...like they will show it in training rooms for decades to come
- his futility in position is going to get somebody hurt--and badly with his missed assignments
- maybe he will turn it around someday, but now--EASILY the worst LT in all D1P5...EASILY

Whatever happened with Tommy Kennedy? IIRC he started at LT for Butler. I mean, he at least knows what to try to do .Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I went back and rewatched every single snap Zion has taken.

you might be getting a reply from @jjpuppet, who is one of Zion's nannys, telling you to "grow up" like he posted on a thread i did about Best/Worst OL . LOL !He's just not ready yet, doesn't have the functional strength or footwork necessary to be a starting P5 LT.
Barry needs to seriously consider moving Scaife to LT & giving Campbell another shot at RT.
I encourage anybody that hasn't already to go rewatch the UF & CMU games and only focus on Zion the whole time you watch, he is BAAAAAADDD, like super extra terrible. Not just in the sacks he gives up, but pay attention to how many missed assignments he has in blocks he supposed to pickup & how often he gets beat on run plays as well.
OP is not exaggerating, he's the WORST LT in D1 ball this season.
Bro what a year of expierence can do to someone..
Imo, more importantly his mental toughness is one to strive for. Placed in a no win situation he could have easily checked out, but got much better. Much props to Zion!Bro what a year of expierence can do to someone...
