I know bordelon is taking a lot of heat and that video looked awful

The problem is his pass block grade was a 12. I’ve never seen a pff grade that low

Yeah, people saying he graded out at a 12.6 are being intellectually dishonest. That was his grade in pass pro, not overall. It’s still disgusting and cannot play in the SEC, but it completely discounts his ability to run block. Which is why he won the job. They clearly valued that more than whatever advantage Harper may give us in pass pro, (And spare me the “it’s because his dad’s a big booster”bullshite. This isn’t high school.)

But, like I said, 12.6 in pass pro from starting OL will not play in the SEC. They’re gonna have to figure something out. I said in another thread, that I don’t think Harper replacing him is the only option on the table. I think all options are. Hell, they could even move Bo to a jumbo TE and use him in some 12 personnel when we need to run the ball. But he’s not the worst guard in the history of football who should never play another snap. He may have had the worst game in pass pro for an LSU guard in recent memory. Which is clearly not sustainable. I think they work on a few different combinations in practice this week, he probably starts against A&M and they use some things to give him help and kinda hide him, Harper will get some opportunities at LG, and then if we wind up seeing any permanent changes, it will likely be against McNeese.

Played much better in the second half

For what it’s worth, the Ole Miss D lineman he was going up against is projected to be the first DL taken in the NFL draft this year

He’s not very good, period. There’s a reason he hasn’t gotten much playing time in his career. The problem is that we don’t have much better options.

Overall Grade through 3 games:
Bordelon (232 snaps) - 57.2
Harper (25 snaps) - 46.9
Martinez (23 snaps) - 47.0
Davis (227 snaps) - 46.9
Bah (232 snaps) - 59.8

The OL simply isn’t very good.

Bordelon is a solid run blocker but his pass blocking is not good -he’s (sic) feet are too slow

But we should all be excited at this staffs ability to adjust and not continue banging head at the wall like last staff.

I was shocked that we didn't press or send numbers at all in the 1st H.

Kiffin owned up to it. Said it was his call. It was a mistake, but that being said, I watched us line up to provide safety help for Woodland and suspected the ball would come his way.

And when it did, he wasn't even able to cover the Under, so I'm just not sure what else would have consistently worked when you can't trust your secondary starter to prevent 1st down completions on 3rd and long when he has dedicated help over the top.
