[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1000163, member: 10086"] I see them working OL at several positions to both evaluate each player and cross train them. [B]Sean Rhyan[/B] in particular is intriguing inside because he’s actually what I’d call a very good graded Run blocker. Many of Rhyan’s named deficiencies coming into the NFL we’re specifically concerning playing Tackle. However he was once of the best pure Run graders in last years draft. I copied this from [I]Fan Nation:[/I] [LIST] [*]Massive sized OL with some positional versatility (mostly played LT in college, [U]figures to be a better IOL)[/U] [*]Solid overall athlete for a player with his frame [*]Plays with solid knee bend in the initial phase of plays [*]Has [U]solid burst moving forward in the running game [/U]and he fits his hands quickly [*][U]Possesses a bulldozer type of skill set once he latches on in the run game[/U] [*][U]Devastating striking ability with his 99th percentile hand size as a run blocker[/U] [*]Used [U]good power and punch in the run game[/U] [*][U]Does well to latch onto defenders and displace them on play-side runs[/U] - keeps his feet moving through contact [*]Does well to scoop from the backside and use his frame to negate defenders flowing to the play [*][U]Good overall ability to climb to the second-level[/U] and cut-off LBs [*]Solid mover in space who took good angles to assignments [*][U]Excellent overall play strength[/U] [*]Drives defenders off the line of scrimmage as a down blocker [*]Efficient feet when kicking into space and pulling; redirects his weight and gets square to his target well [*]Solid overall in pass protection - [U]his issues stem from the OT position and would mostly be masked inside at OG[/U] [*]Grips strength to restrict space and stagnant defenders [*][U]Excellent anchor[/U] who, despite a higher pad level, [U]rarely gets bullied backward by bull-rushers[/U] [*]Solid overall hand usage and ability to regain control while in pass protection [*]Attempts to use upper body strength to rise defender’s momentum upward when the defender rushes within his cylinder [*][U]Smart player who was aware of twists and delayed blitzes[/U] [*][U]Very experienced player[/U] [/LIST] It’s possible if we plan on Running some more we are gearing up to use our best iOL Power Grouping. Also it’s good to know if he can Win a role as a starter that Sean is versed in all positions. I personally think pulling Sean inside to C is more of a positional confidence builder than an indictment on Hanson or Myers. Just my take. PS. I also don’t believe that they’ve written Rhyan off at all as I saw some sentiment in here after his suspension. The suspension is over as is the Rookie Honeymoon. He’s a #92 overall OL selection and it’ll take more than 1 setback to give up on that type expenditure. Conversely, I think Sean could be an X factor once he’s given a chance to shine. I don’t know about a Linchpin, but he could absolutely be a Cotter Pin and hold things together and disperse pressure back onto our areas of strength [/QUOTE]
