I have always thought that it was Ilaoa that was on the wrong side of the ball

That’s different from getting bullied at the point of attack which is our concern.
Because I believe they had no reason to go soft at the initial point of attack.And why is it your concern, given what I stated above?

I was watching our edge guy and he would swim move past an OL to free up and would immediately slow up once past the OL.Meh.
When the game started, I was initially quite impressed by how the OL hold up and maintained a pocket, giving McCord time to throw.
Then, they mentioned that Fran Brown had implemented a no sack / no big hit rule for the spring game.
With no real, live pass rush, the DL is at a distinct disadvantage from the jump.
And if the OL can really hold up at the point of attack and open up holes [for the first time in forever] -- cool.
We are going to have multiple transfers in the interior DL who are 300 pounders, and athletic. No need to worry.
I don't think they are using an NT.With all the adds on OL you could move Moeolo or Ellis to NT.
Think Josh mentioned in Sam Holland's pod that he thought he would be playing on D when he got here but he and the staff saw a greater need and opportuity on the O line. Wonder if this was being considered since More was seeing a lot of time at C before getting hurt?Definitely
You mean there’s more to football than being big? And skill and technique are needed? Shocking.. In all seriousness, I don’t know how some who watch football week in week out can’t comprehend it.We cant just put big heavy guys in the middle and expect all is good. Those guys have to be able to get off the ball and move. There are way too many schemes that will destroy big slow guys. Transition to DL is not simple. New techniques need to learned and mastered.

Unless your name is Rhino.Transitioning from one skill position to another is a lot easier than line to line
Exactly. Went by them and slowed down a touch for throw.Side note from the OP, but I noticed this too. Grant looked good, as did Bellamy (surprised me). But Zeed was getting a step on both of them. Upper tier ACC teams are going to have WR's with speed. So this could be an issue. Hopefully someone emerges among (Jan. enrollees) Haile, Long and Barnes, (transfer) Lewis from ND and McDaniel in July.
Yeah they werent 100 percent full speed.Important to note that the DL was operating with some restrictions on making plays / hits in the backfield.
Exactly what i saw.I was watching our edge guy and he would swim move past an OL to free up and would immediately slow up once past the OL.
1 technique would be more accurateI don't think they are using an NT.
