Wasn’t it reported that he took reps with the 2s to start the week?

Agreed, but he's a little advanced in the program to be willing to "take some lumps" as he's develops

Bordelon most likely knows his "Reads and Assignments" better than the other LG's. That's why Wolford and Cregg are starting him right now.
disagree. Basically what I gleaned from Kiffin is that his run blocking is better. However if you can't pass block, you can't be a starting OL. They literally don't let other RBs run the ball because they can't pass block. Having a liability like Bo will end up getting Leavitt on a stretcher.

People like you and those that upvote your post and agree with you are what’s wrong with this board y’all are the people that make this thing unbearable. The reason the dude is starting because the motherfrickers who watch him every day in practice and the ones who get paid i.e. the coaches think he’s the best man for the job.


That’s why that’s all you need to fricking know.

When you're at practice and watching individual drills, who else stands out?

First 4 years started one game. PFF against OM was 12.6 when below 50 is considered poor. Looks like a potential problem there.

12.6 was for pass blocking only; it's actually changed to 0.5 now, which might be a glitch because i dont even know how thats possible

Bordelon was "fine" the first couple games

Whole OL just about got embarrassed at OM, including Seaton even at points. Echoles just owned everyone on our OLine and unfortunately a lot of that was up against Bordelon.

It's not to excuse Bordelon's bad game, because it was a ridiculously bad game, but keep in mind he's not even the lowest graded Olineman on the team still this season through 3 games. That belong to Davis out at RT.

It's all frustrating because after the Oline looked pretty improved as a unit week 1 against Clemson (who has talent on their Dline), they have just regressed each week since. LT handled them pretty well in 1st half and OM did it the whole game just about.

I dont understand how we're so incapable of having a functioning OLine here anymore. I was hoping wiping out most of the Olinemen would lead to something better, apparently we didnt do enough with letting Davis stick around though. He was clearly the worst Olineman last season and we let him come back and he seemingly still hasnt developed even though at the end of last season his pass blocking started to look like it came around.

That was his pass blocking grade.


While it is awful I don’t think it does any good to make it even worse than it is by implying that’s his overall grade

The QB is making the line look a lot worse than they really are by making the wrong reads on the RPO and holding the ball.

In addition, it is tough to judge him off of one game against the best DT in the country

Bordelon blocked well against Clemson. The level of competition went up against Ole Miss, and quite frankly, the ENTIRE O-LINE didn't block well that game.

That’s not saying much. Davis was trash last year too.

Amen brother! These fricking head coaches in waiting here at TD prove that common sense is not that common.
