Who is to say that we wont have a solid lt when the dust settles this year? Lt is Coleman’s natural position, he could do well. Bitinio played lt in college and was good there, and has now played beside of and learned from Thomas for a few years, he may slide over and do very well there. It’s not like we have no one for it.

brownie man Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I just wanna know why we paid Chris Hubbard so much maybe we can get out of that contract easily? run blocking Oline sounds good though... I gotta read more about his senior bowl practices but I remember he did well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically ball out or get out. Hubbard got paid cause he will be out starting RT. Corbett will prolly start some where on the left side or center. So who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioG Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I think Drango is a great back up guard who can start and do well. This pick will be a hit if he can take over for Tretter at C or start at RT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedTheClock Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I have no idea why people are assuming Corbett won't play LT. I don't there's any chance we drafted him to come in here and play freaking guard. He's got every LT quality other than length. And he's not super small or anything.--he's like an inch and a half shorter than the average LT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to be honest arm length is nice and all but it is greatly over exaggerated as well as overall height. Austin Corbett Arm Lenght 33 1/8" Jake Matthews 33 3/8 Riley Reiff 33 1/4 Joe Thomas 32 7/8" There are numerous other OTs that have arm lengths ranging from 33.5-34.5 Corbett will not have an issue there and 6'4 3/8 is not exactly midge status even for a LT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he’s lacking something physically compared to the ideal player, that’s why he went 33 as opposed to 3. Long arms are great, but it’s not a deal breaker if the kid can play. Lastly, just for kicks, take a look at your arm and ask yourself how much better you’d be at anything if it were 3 centimeters longer.

What he lacks aside from arm length at LT is elite athleticism, which Bitonio has. I think you could end up seeing Corbett at LG and Bitonio at LT. Just a thought though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corbett is our new LT. The flaw in this logic is that last year you would have moved him mid season with zero prep time or reps at lt. Drango had practiced some there all year. He likely would not have done any better than drango given the circumstances and you would have downgraded the entire left side. where as this year he can start taking reps there from day 1 and see how he responds, and we also have more players to take over lg if he does move.
