Felt like there were a lot hyped rookie offensive lineman and even though the position can be hard to grow into from college to pros I didn’t know if one of these rookies has stood out at all?
Dawand Jones.
Everyone is a distant second in the pass blocking game.
I like that kid in Cleveland- he looked pretty good against TJ Watt.
Then, of course, I’m kinda partial to Broderick who has done very well even though he’s playing a different side than he did at Georgia.
Broderick Jones has played starter-level snaps (85% or more) in 6 games. In those games, the Steelers have averaged 149.5 rushing yards per game. In 5 of 6 games the Steelers have rushed for more than 100 yards, including a high of 205.
He’s played bench-level snaps (10% or less) in 5 games. In those games, the Steelers have averaged 71.4 rushing yards per game. In just 1 of 5 did they rush for more than 100, a paltry 105.
In the last 3 games the Steelers lead the NFL, averaging 176.7 rushing yards per game.
Barring injury, Chukwuma Okorafor will be sitting on the bench of rest of the season.
What I’m seeing is you need to clone him and then have him play all 5 spots and 2 TE spots. Hell, line him up in the slot too. 8 Broderick Jones. 1 WR out wide for the random deep pass and a QB and RB. If one Broderick Jones is worth an average of 78 rushing yards per game, then 8 will be 624.8 rushing yards per game. And that average is based on throwing the ball probably over half the time
I’d have to take Dawand Jones over him pretty easy
I just want to see Broderick on the left side, dude is a Dawg (Georgia bull and otherwise)
Brojo. Big, beefy and he’s got good jokes.
I’ll vote for Darnell Wright but Paris Johnson has also been great as a day 1 starting RT for a garbage offense. He might even have the upside to move to LT
What are you on about PJJ has been awful the last few weeks, he was decent the first 4 weeks of the season but went downhill since , he was losing matchups in garbage time to the rams 3rd stringers . He’s rated in the bottom 10 by PFF for right tackles . I agree with him moving to the left side but saying he’s the best of the class as of now is just wrong .
they moved Paris to RT? He was a LT in college
Anton Harrison has quietly put together a fantastic rookie campaign. He’s had a couple snaps per game where he gets smoked, but he always bounces back. And this has been against Watt, Chris Jones, Bosa, etc. Dude’s gonna be a damn good RT for many years to come
Darnell Wright has been pretty good so far. So has Dawand Jones. Honestly, this rookie class of OT has been pretty good.
If the browns stopped running the ball, Dawand Jones might be an All-Pro. Legitimate wall in pass pro but it looks kinda rough watching him try to move up field run blocking.
JMS on the Giants has been improving. Which is good
Man I really wish we just took Carter and Dawand
I’m not sure, I haven’t been watching the rookie tackle film
From what I can tell they’ve all been mostly pretty good, which I found surprising.
Dawand Jones. He was my OT2 coming out of Ohio State, even better than Paris Johnson in my opinion. HUGE steal for the Browns, and it’s payed off so far.
Surprised Bergeron hasn’t been mentioned yet.
Bro Jones
Broddy “The Body” Jones
