He's o-line depth, nothing more nothing less. Good run blocker, suspect pass protection.
That is always the goal and is the first requirement of good football, but it falls short if the team you are playing has the same strengths and a better scheme, play calling, and prep. Coaching decides most games.Coach I like the move people off the ball and let a good back do the rest scheme...seriously though..
all this synchronized swimming Going on, just get off the ball and drive, and finish with a real nasty demeanor, and you will take their will.
Maybe that’s why we are acquiring Huge human being who are nasty? specifically for the reason you talk about.That is always the goal and is the first requirement of good football, but it falls short if the team you are playing has the same strengths and a better scheme, play calling, and prep.

And Fluck the zone scheme, I hate that flucking scheme...and Fluck the Diaz brothers too.

His arm length is 36 3/4 inches. Downfield blocking seems to be more about getting a yard or two downfield and getting your hands on any defender that gets near a lineman. The days of pulling guards that try to run over a defender and hit nothing by air have disappeared from the game as has Levon Kirkland sized players.Maybe that’s why we are acquiring Huge human being who are nasty? specifically for the reason you talk about.
If we’re bgiver and stronger and more nasty than everyone else than we have no match.
Isn't he the guy Cam Wake abused when we went out there to play a couple of years ago? I don't really remember, but I was watching this kid because I thought we might have drafted him and wanted to see how he did. He didn't...Fluker is a big bodied guy who was drafted (in the first 1:11) to play Right Tackle. His drafting team quickly gave up on that idea, and moved him to Guard in his second year. He was starting, but he wasn't playing at a high end level, and the Chargers were already realizing they had a bust on their hands. He played a third year for the Chargers and then they cut him.
The Giants were next, where he only played in 9 games.
Then a couple of years in Seattle where he played Guard mostly when he wasn't fighting injuries...
Then on to the Ravens... again... fill-in starter and some injuries.
Anyone who thinks this guy is a starter... well... they are THE most optimistic Fin Fan that I have ever seen.
He's a 1M/year, break glass in case of disaster, player. Don't be surprised if he doesn't even make the team.
Not sure about that, but Fluker in space is probably a bad idea.Isn't he the guy Cam Wake abused when we went out there to play a couple of years ago? I don't really remember, but I was watching this kid because I thought we might have drafted him and wanted to see how he did. He didn't...
Meh, more wasted money. It's like we're stockpiling bad players and fringe roster guys just so we squander as much money as possible. Odd.
I've never heard anyone say that you want bigger olineman in a zone scheme. Ive always read and seen the opposite. The team that comes to mind to me for being famous for effective zone blocking was the Broncos from the late 90s with Gibbs as their oline coach. I think they did not have one starter over 300 for much of it...and they had studs like Nalen, Schlereth and Jones in an era when most Oline were 300+.An RPO can run any OL blocking scheme. It can run inside or outside zone, it can pull OL and run sweeps, it can trap, etc. There's no limit to what an RPO can run. It's all just about the scheme of who is running it and what they want their run options to be...
Typically Zone schemes take on larger, stronger, and sometimes dumber OL and have great success - as long as the OL can get out of their stance. The Zone can definitely use a quicker OL, but the whole reason Zone became a thing originally was for larger OL as it suits their skillset.
The places I've coached and played that used offenses like the West Coast, Wing T, variations of the I offense, Power Wing, and Fly offense have typically had quicker OL and they often had someone pulling or trapping on the OL every play (Trap/Sweep/Boot/Reverse/Belly/Power/etc.
Blocking schemes that pull, trap, and have lots of OL movement typically want mobile OL in it.
IMO our OL is situated more for Zone than anything else. We don't see much pulling or trapping in our scheme.
Guess we won’t be drafting Sewell. Lol
