He was talking about his anchor. That isnt an issue when getting beaten with speed to the outside or inside, its only when you take on defenders and engage them. it is most apparent when you are beaten by a bullrush.

Wrong.  He was talking about not being a lazy ass and wants him to be in an athletic position.  Braxton gave up the sack because after he popped the guy and didn't sit.  That affects your lateral agility.  On the TD where he got got ghosted by the LB, he was standing there like Frankenstein.  Butt down chest up with weight on the balls of your feet (athletic base).  Sound familiar?

The anchor you are referring to starts the same way (athletic base), then the feet stagger to provide better energy absorbtion from the defender.  It also enables the offensive player a punch and grab opportunity.

Dont know if this means anything but Ozzy played on the right side today.

Wright is being challenged.  He has been getting lazy when fatigued and it shows in his play according to Roshour.

This is the guy they had to have instead of Jalen Carter. Not a great news day for Ryan Poles' OL draft picks. Trapillo seems destined for the swing tackle position as he continues to lose reps to Braxton Jones and an undrafted free agent at LT.

I think they may have him be the swing tackle and will get snaps at both spots. I don't think Wright has competition. I think they may like Theo Benedet a lot to give him some time at LT. Also Kiran is back on the field.

The interview was on 670 the score.  Said sometimes guys need to feel the pressure to realize their potential. Its just a wakeup call to get him to be his best.

It could be that our best option if Wright goes down is to move Trapilo from LT to RT and bring Braxton off the bench.  Game day active rosters give limited options that are different from long term replacement.  Either way a little competition is good.

I agree with that.

So I gotta ask, why are you being so aggressive, "wrong" etc - I havent spoken that way to you, and its FINE, but I dont think you want me taking a similar tone back? The last few posts have been that I wanted to prove you wrong etc. Im literally not fighting with you.

I get that you may be offended at how i speak to Stinger, but he is the only one i speak that way to?

And dont get me wrong either, you havent been anywhere near as rude as what caused the fight with me and him last year. So Im not mad or anything, Im just wondering? Because i havent taken that tone with you ever?

I still think that Roushar was talking about his base, and his power, and I took that to mean on bullrushes. Theres no way Im saying people should stand upright on any block of course, that'd be dumb. But I am saying that your anchor is for when a block is engaged, and when he got beat for the sack, and the two pressures, those were speed moves.

And to the main point, based on what I saw out there, Jones had a bad day, and Roushar DEFINITELY said that.

If we are squabbling over two bullrush snaps that I rated as being pushed back, and you think were just absorbing energy, then fine we can disagree on two snaps, but it doesnt mean Jones showed that he could be trusted as the starter based on that one game. He still gave up those pressures and a sack. And I dont think we disagree that he did that?

Ozzy has his own troubles with that hand fighting issue.

I guess, in a nutshell, I believe I've earned the right to be the OL authority on this page.  I played the position, I went to the camps, I've received my accolades and actually hung out with all pros at the position.  Upon graduation, the Colts moved to my hometown for camp and I got to hang out with them.  We partied, played basketball and talked shit.  Yet, you want to continue with the, "hey, I was right party".  Just stop.  Sorry if I'm aggressive, but damn bro.  It gets tiresome hearing someone talking checkers when chess is being played.  Opinions are one thing, but the continuing need to be right is another.  Bear down brother...💪🍻💥. 

At the end of the day, you are a badass contributor to this forum.  You know this, but this is my lane. (And Jason)
