Really strong, 340lb road grader in our offense that loves to run just not working for ya? 1 sack allowed doesnt hurt.
We actually don’t know if I’m wrong. Won’t be the first time or the last time.
I stand by my opinion. He is too big and heavy footed for our offense. He has a ton of experience though and that is something we will lack at guard.
We can reasonably assume you are wrong. The coaches have spent years developing the ability to scout for the traits they want and know intimately what a good OL looks like. You assuming that your opinion, with none of that ability whatsoever, is somehow just as valid as theirs, is simple arrogance.We actually don’t know if I’m wrong.

We pulled a lot in Hookers senior year. Didn’t do it as much last year under Milton.This year, Heupel has been forced to implement way more pull ,counter, and trap bc we don’t have the bulldozers to move people. It’s actually been genius how he has changed his entire run game around. Makes me optimistic that he can change things that have usually been his norm.
Where did I once say my opinion is more valid than theirs? Good job with the straw man gaslighting. Secondly, you know nothing about my past and what I did.We can reasonably assume you are wrong.

Mays has gotten recognition this season for a reason. He’s obviously not perfect or an elite day one draft talent, but man it’s awesome to see how hard he has worked and improved in his time here.We pulled a lot in Hookers senior year. Didn’t do it as much last year under Milton.
I was impressed with Mays a few times this season as he was able to snap the football, pull and get to his spot quick enough that Sampson wasn’t waiting on him.
He’s done a good bit to hide our deficiencies on the o-line thru scheme.This year, Heupel has been forced to implement way more pull ,counter, and trap bc we don’t have the bulldozers to move people.

To my untrained eye, that video made him appear very quick off the whistle for a man of his size.In the video that I watched of him he didn't pull much at all because that wasn't Arizona's scheme. What I did see was a guy that could get out front in their screen plays and engage defenders quickly. He was really great using a gallop step technique to close with the LT or C to combo block. I didn't see him give up any sacks and his pass blocking footwork looked above average. He rarely was off of his feet and seems to always keep his hips behind him and doesn't lose arm extension. When he did hit he ground, he was up quickly. That is one of the markers that every recruiter or scout is looking for in IOL. How fast can he get up when he goes down. Moe is a bouncer not a roller. Bouncers pop up, rollers have to wallow to get upright again. IMO, he will be a very good gap scheme blocker. IMO, he has an opportunity to give us another pulling option based on his sound footwork. He has average speed but his technique is very sound and he doesn't waste motion.
