Good stuff:
"Mahogany’s power has been evident since his return, and now that he has flashed on pulls the last few days, it’s easy to see why I believe he’ll fit into Drew Petzing’s blocking scheme.
The most impressive offensive lineman in camp has to be second-year utility lineman Miles Frazier, who continues to not only show off ridiculous range and endurance, but also execute at a strong level. After starting camp in the battle for the left guard position, he’s since shifted to right tackle on the second unit, while also contributing on the third team at both guard spots and sometimes left tackle as well."
Does that mean Frazier is playing ahead of Boron or Blake at RT on the 2nd unit?
IDK, but this all seems pretty good news.
I feel a I told you so coming on , Lol
Good question. Earlier in camp it was all Miller and Borom, but they’ve had days off, so has Sewell, and it seems Frazier just plugs in for whoever’s off, and it seems like they really like him at RT (though I think Borom is still technically the 6th OL we bring in when we go heavy). Back before the draft when I was talking about pivoting to Bain or Josh Downs if they fell, I always brought up Frazier as competition for Borom in that spot, he was great at RT in the Senior Bowl. Might be his most natural fit honestly.
He seems destined for the 6th man role on the OL
Looks like Sorsdal & Manu are done here
I wonder how much his versatility will impact him negatively this year …
Like what if he’s the better LG but we value is versatility to be a backup
I think versatility will never hurt anyone with this staff, but I get what you mean. They might value the versatility more than letting him cement a spot. I think that would be pretty surprising, but then I’ve always liked Mahogany and have expected him to run away with the LG spot all summer. So he and Borom fighting for that 6th OL, though they really only overlap at RT.
They said they were going to focus on the OLine last offseason. They really have revamped it. Lots of depth. I thought Bartch was a good signing for the price and I haven’t heard anything about him yet.
I don’t think Bartch is really practicing yet. They’re easing him in.
It’s early, who knows they might shift him back to LG before long.
