His run blocking was somewhat worse at Guard than Center, but his pass blocking was actually better according to PFF.
2017 (OG) - 707 snaps, 77.6 pass block grade (best in his career), only 2 sacks, 3 penalties
2018 (OG) - 589 snaps, 72.8 pass block grade (2nd best in career), 4 sacks, 2 penalties
2019 © - 1097 snaps, 71.5 pass block grade, 4 sacks, 2 penalties
2020 © - 938 snaps, 64.3 pass block grade, 1 sack, 3 penalties
2021 © - 928 snaps (not inc. postseason), 56.1 pass block grade, 4 sacks, 4 penalties
It is Hop's run blocking that is bad and for that to be even worse at Guard isn't good to me.
Hop is a good pass protector though, doesn't surprise me he was good at this at Guard.
I just like the thought of freeing up cap space to add someone new if we can. Still think RG and RT need new players.
Once Hop got over the injury he wasn't the problem on the OL last season. I would keep him at Center if we keep him.

With that said, I'd feel more comfortable keeping Hopkins (at least initially) to compete with Carman for RG reps.
Same here, actually would love this if Trent is motivated to block for Burrow. Trent is younger and more talented than Moses.
Moses is just solid which is why I would take him and he doesn't have motivation problems like Trent has had.
