Brian O'Neil surprises
Thread breaking down some of his pass-blocking snaps. I thought he was surprisingly solid. I'm pleased by his early progress. There might be something there, guys.

Re: Brian O'Neil surprises
Seemed to confirm what was already known
1. He moves well
2. He lacks mass and power
3. He is not going to move his man in the run game and will be best served on pulls and tosses.
Also, he came into the game late against a tired defense.

Re: Brian O'Neil surprises
I'm glad he did well, but now teams will have tape to prepare for him where the Packers did not. Time will tell once he goes through NFL scheming and readjustment.

Re: Brian O'Neil surprises
I mean granted it's one game but this was part of the reason I wasnt so adamant about drafting an OL in the first. There was a lot of depth this year. And then of course some fans buy into the experts analysis of O'Neill and so on and so forth. The guy showed well and he can move. Next is just getting Elflein back and bumping Compton out for Jones.
Then we have:
Reiff, Jones, Elflein, Remmers, O'Neill
with good depth subs of Hill, Isidora and Compton.
I like it to be honest

Re: Brian O'Neil surprises
So do you guys think he did enough to win the starter position permanently?

Re: Brian O'Neil surprises
Definitely. The way O'neill picked up those stunts by GB shows that he is better than Hill.

Re: Brian O'Neil surprises
I would honestly be surprised if O'Neil isn't the starter moving forward. I'm sure PFF will tell me I'm wrong, but he looked to be one of the better linemen this past week. I think the OL may be workable once Pat gets back out there (hopefully this week so he can have a practice game against the Bills before playing a real game against the Rams).

Re: Brian O'Neil surprises
Run blocking will still be an issue on his side. up the middle should be better and running to the left. Remmers and him are poor at it.Pondering Her Percy wrote: ↑Tue Sep 18, 2018 11:32 am I mean granted it's one game but this was part of the reason I wasnt so adamant about drafting an OL in the first.

I would feel even better with
Reiff, Herandez, Elfein, Jones, Remmers
I also didn't miss that the Packers 2nd round corner scored this week while looking solid.

Re: Brian O'Neil surprises
Nope. He moves well coming in at the end of the game, vs a guy who probably didn't know much about him while he was armed with game film about the guys tendencies. He had almost every advantage in the book. I still do not like how he deals with bull rushes. This is the NFL and defenses are going to set you up once they know you have a deficiency. Play him this week and pray Hill gets back soon.Maelstrom88 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 18, 2018 12:36 pm So do you guys think he did enough to win the starter position permanently?

Re: Brian O'Neil surprises
Remmers is supposedly a better run blocker than pass protector at RT. Not sure why he'd be worse at guard.YikesVikes wrote: ↑Tue Sep 18, 2018 4:37 pm Run blocking will still be an issue on his side. up the middle should be better and running to the left. Remmers and him are poor at it.

Hill had his ankle taped but was moving around OK in the locker room. He may even be able to play this week.YikesVikes wrote: ↑Tue Sep 18, 2018 4:41 pm Nope.

Why is run blocking all that different at guard than at tackle?Blocking at guard typically is very different than blocking at RT
