SJ Alofaituli- season stats, other interesting stats. Mensah is saving the line

[Warrior808]

Not advocating for SJ, but this wasn’t on him.

The highlight (lowlight) is definitely the center but SJ with the complete whiff as well. On any typical play he gets the rotten tomato award. Just so happens he is lined up next to a complete **** show so it’s not as noticed.

Status on Mirabal’s arms?

Cantwell had 2 snaps and Congdon had 0

Criminal.

Gonna need to keep Fletcher on the field on passing downs to chip defensive tackles at this point.

This is also where Marty Brown will be missed.

what’s up w the transfer from UGA is he playing?

 

[ShadowSpring]

Is this the worst OL of the Mario era? At the moment it's behind 2025, 2024, and 2023. Not sure it's better than 2022.

Watching him miss so often made me realize why there’s no way you can play him at center. If he can’t even get his assignments down at guard there’s no way he can handle calling out protections at center. Can you imagine him trying to call out a blitz.

On another note all these Bishop Gorman guys we recruit seem to fit what Bill Parcells and Saban would call exceptions.

Parcells and Saban had pretty strict NFL and college scouting criteria dictated that if a player lacked the ideal, prototypical frame for their position, they had to possess a freakish, 99th-percentile elite trait. You can look great in high school as a short lineman or te or a skinny de but college is different.

"Bill Parcells Rule"

If you want see a real effup watch the right guard during Mensah's TD pass to Josh Moore. Ooof. It's at the 2:10 mark.

Mensah is covering up a lot.

Max in pass pro gets his weight too far forward. It needs to be fixed

He played in the SEC, he can’t be worse, right? Right?

 

[90scane]

You have to admit plays like this are pure comedy. It seriously looks like Rodney Dangerfield out there.

Ryan was pushed into South Carolina

 

[anr96]

it truly couldn’t be much worse with anyone else out there in his place

Still recovering from major injury or he sucks too

I mean we lost 3 guys to the NFL draft and we didn’t bring in any bonafide starters with a lot of good reps. I’m a big fan of Samson but he and McCoy split reps. We’ve basically got 5 guys who are first time legit starters everyone knew the OL would take a big step back this year.

But I’d like to see some more movement besides Samson and McCoy and see who else can play and is ready for the moment

Well yes because it's Rodriguez getting *****ed, but SJ also doesn't block his LB. He whiffs

He had a knee procedure and that’s harder on those bigger guys , it takes longer to recover . He was the one I was countering on to be at least a swing guy.

2022 was one of the worst offensive lines ever. As bad as the interior of this offensive line has looked, Samson and McCoy have been really good so far this season.

 

[Silentobserver]

Or his driving record transferred with him.

 

[90scane]

Hoping he continues to improve with time. The season is long and we clearly can use the help.

 

[lurker]

I think they are putting the interests and desires of McCoy and Samson ahead of the team. They both want to play tackle but I think it’s clear to anyone following the team, the line would be better off if one of them moved inside.

It aint that black/white but I won’t debate w ya, he hasn’t been good enough.
