Og is extremely athletic, one of the most athletic Tackles in college and now in the NFL, he just has poor technique and
just doesn't have the want in him. If he never wants to be great, he is hopeless. Bodine was strong in the weight room
and i guess that is all PA thought matters in a Center.
Fisher has talent and i agree, the coaches screwed him up just like they didn't coach up Og or Bodine.
I also agree that MLJ had talent in college but no it wasn't all there, he was raw on his routes just like Core was but
MLJ was much better at going up for the ball. Malone as i said earlier needs to be in this conversation, cause he goes
up for the ball similar to MLJ and is just as fast.
Lafell needs to play better period if he wants to keep that #2 spot. Problem is, he isn't going to get any faster.
1. No. Because they would laugh at it. You tell them that coaching is a magic cure all. See what happens.
2. Athleticism on the OL is wildly overrated. It's a nice bonus but it should be very far down the list of things you look for. That doesn't make him a good football player or a good collegiate football player.
3. What is there to coach up? THEY ARE BAD FOOTBALL PLAYERS. That isn't a coaching issue. That's a scouting issue. Coaches don't take bad players and make them good. They just don't. If what you suggest is true, why the hell have the Patriots drafts been such shit lately? Where has Bill's magic sparkle fairy dust been? Why have they struggled to replace all the players they traded away? Having Tom Brady cures a lot of their problems. That's the magic fairy dust. Have the best QB in the history of the sport. Same with GB.
You can't expect NFL coaches to take a player with NO foundation and make them something in a reasonable time in the NFL. The player has to come into the league with something tangible. Ced didn't. He probably won't ever.
