How does Pocic not stay at LT?

Besides the one bad hold deep in our own territory I thought he was clearly the best Tackle we have had all season. Maybe since La'El. I was about half lit so I may be mistaken. Moving forward it seems pretty obvious to me that he's the answer there. I would love to see
LT: Pocic
LG: Maea
C: Clapp
RG: Boutte
RT: Weathersby or Chidi if Toby can't go.
Thoughts?

I think its more of an indictment on Clapp at C.

I'd rather Malone at RT if Weathersby can't go. If Chidi didn't get in last game then he's clearly either not ready or still injured.
I think Dodd is our center in that situation with Clapp staying at LG.

Dodd was the center when Pocic went out. I'm not sure if that's due to Dodd being familiar with Etling as Etling pointed out or Clapp never materialized as a viable option at center. I'd go to venture a bit of both.
I mean unless things change Dodd will be our center next year soo....

Will be looked back on as one of the biggest mistakes of the season if we do not make the change. How the coaches continue to watch the game film while watching Malone and say, "yep that's our guy" is baffling. He's so fricking bad.

Trust in jeff grimes. The man knows what hes doing

Absolutely Pocic should play tackle he will in the pros. And Teuhema is a guard and should be moved there immediately because he just doesn't have the foot work needed to play tackle. I watched him and he gets beaten badly on simple pass rushes. But the kid would be an absolute mauler at guard and will be one in the pros soon.
And you're right about Clapp should have been taught to play center, I said that. Brumfield should have been trained to play there too if he can't play guard.

Because Pocic was not all world like most of these posts keep claiming. He was average at best. Malone and Pocic is about the same at tackle but Pocic is a much better center than any other center we have.

you gotta love the rant. you were "about" half lit, all you remember was a drive killing penalty and he sober up and announce him the best LT since Collins?
that's quite an endorsement. do you think it might have been influenced by something you've read another genius on here post. maybe he was half lit too.

well, since your drunk analysis tells you so, it must be obvious. maybe our coaches should get "half lit", not watch the players every play and then make their position decisions. yea. that's the ticket.

I rewatched the Miss State game. He and Boutte were leading the charge on Fournette's screen pass that ended up a yard short of the 1st on 3rd down. He was forced to do it all on his own. Neither one came close to blocking anyone as a couple of defenders passed right by them to make the tackle. That's a few complete whiffs on easy screen blocks Pocic's had this year. Our best lineman needs to get it together, because that's a part of the offense we never get to see and with our RB'S in the open field, our QB'S ability to run it and Cam finally calling it, there's no reason to be blowing what could be many big plays. With all the stout defensive fronts and heavy pass rushes we'll see this year, this could be the part of the game that halts those heavy rushes upfield for a change. Get it together.

That's exactly what the oline should look like.

This has been about offensive philosophy. the running back is your center piece not the QB, otherwise your 6'7 center with arguable the best foot work on the team would be protecting the QB's blindside instead of blocking your QB's throwing lanes.
Some say we don't throw slants because we don't have a WR that is tough enough do it and that may very well be true but a 6'7 center doesn't help either

We didn't score with Pocic at tackle.
The limited time he played didn't do much for a case for him to play there. He did have a costly hold.

Malone just fine at LT minus the game he had elbow injury vs wisky. Pocic may not be super at LT. He is a great C. I didn't see superb play when he went in at LT and the group with him at C hasn't allowed a sack since etlings been in. Can't remember if Harris got sacked. They were hampered week 1. After the loss I've seen pretty good play.
