Bonanza23 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Welp I bet we take an LT high next year, move Corbett to center and bitonio back to guard. That’d be a fantastic oline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mind Character Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I watched all of Joel's tape coming out.. he is a great LG... his movement skills and foot movement ... kick step lack the required athleticism to be a good guard... Who's to say Corbett makes a good LG right away as he's only played LT in college...I think he'll be good at guard but I never saw him as plug in play due to play deficiencies... This is a move of desperation brought on by a forced depth chart move based on the personnel availability... Here's to hoping it works out well... When it doesn't go well and we move Joel back to LG ... will he have lost something due to technique regression that is guaranteed to happen...here's to hoping Corbett can acquire the foot movement and hip flexibility and deep anchor to excel at guard right away.

Mind Character Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Joel's always been a stiff legged, lock knee'd athlete...in short quarters with an amazingly strong upper body... Bitonio is like an elite greco roman wrestler that mauls people on the inside at LG.. On the Island at LT he can be a fish out of water... his additional weight added at Guard won't help him at LT... Hopefully if he struggles some at LT.. he doesn't lose confidence in a detrimental way that affects his longterm play and prospects as an elite guard/olineman.

A lot has changed since his college days so those videos aren’t very helpful. Also helps that they say he looked good vs Garrett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buno67 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 All I will say our OL should be beastly at running the ball next year. Chubb and Hyde should own between the tackles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buno67 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I also like Haley’s ability to hide potential weakness along the OL. For years with the Steelers he was able to set plays up that helps keep BigBen from getting killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mind Character Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 @buno67 A lot has changed as in Bitonio hasn't played LT since... I posted those videos to give people that never watched Joel play tackle some insight into how he played it when he did. Although much time has passed... a few things are still the same for Joel... he's a stiffed leg athlete that can get in trouble when put on an Island... His knowledge, strength, and hand technique is superior at this point of course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistakey Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Corbett was bitonios replacement at Nevada and was better so I gotta think it’s not out of the realm that we get a bitonio like rookie season out of Corbett which would still make our line pretty darn good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 A day or two ago. Joe Thomas quickly realizes that Corbett isn't a tackle. Hue disagrees "Joe is entitled to his opinion" Nek minute.... Corbett isn't at tackle and at LG and Bitonio is at LT. It shows that Dorsey got his team construction wrong unless Corbett is a great guard immediately. Before Training camp we had LT ??? LG Great player C decent RG great player RT decent player now we have LT Bitonio, probably a decent player there, will be good at run blocking LG Rookie. C Decent player RG Great player RT decent player We have potentially made a strong group a lot worse. I realize that LT don't grow on trees and that there wasn't a clear cut awesome LT in the draft, but it wasn't handled correctly unless someone comes out of nowhere.

The other options is a strong group got weaker. If Desmond Harrison can play then the problem is solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issues isn’t if Harrison can play, more if he can be big enough and keep weight on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
