Absolutely. Hoffman is a good backup but isn't going to ever be a dominant player. The fact that Beebe changed positions and rated top half of the league at his position with a lack of coaching says a lot about his ability. He is a beast.
I will say that Hoffman surprised me. I didn't think he was going to amount to much after the preseason where we cut him and placed him on the practice squad. But he worked hard to make himself into a quality NFL backup who stepped in as a starter for Martin and did well. Some team will likely give him a chance to start at center or guard once he becomes a free agent. Maybe the same for Bass and Richards. These players have done pretty well with the snaps they've been given.
We know his mom taught him to snap the ball lol
Exactly.
Guyton was 23 years old during his rookie year (born in 2001).
Broaddus and Cavanaugh have referenced this multiple times on podcasts
We're a passing team anyway. This team is not going to be a run to set up the pass or play action off the run.
Right, so then….more lip service. Attempting to talk things into existence.
lol no. There is no film that will consistently backup the notion that Hoffman is a better center than Bebe. Because he is not
You sound like his agent or position coach or something lol. I don't care where he plays, as long as we have our best 5 on the field. You shouldn't care either. Just get our best 5 out there, line em up, coach them up. But I must say, Hoffman looked more ready to play center than the guy who hasn't since Highschool. But at guard, CB is a wrecking ball and should stay there. It's just my opinion and if this staff says differently, I'm good with it. I trust them. Last year's staff, not so much.
It's no contest when talking playing the guard position. Hands down, CB is much better than Hoffman. When strictly looking at center, it's close, but Hoffman is better, NOW. Maybe later CB will surpass him , but if we truly want the best 5, Hoffman should be the center. Guyton would be my RT. Steele the swing. Just want the best 5. But with the new oline coach and run game coordinating things, I trust whatever rendention of our oline they put out on the field. They will sort it out. It might just shock us what it looks like after Oxnard.
lol nah not his agent or coach but I watch a lot of film. And listen to guys who are oline coaches breakdown technique, hand placement, kick step etc. I’ve just seen too much film of the both of them and Hoffman is not better than Bebe. The team shows how they felt because when Hoffman was going to be our RG they went right out there and drafted a rookie Brooks. When he was going to be center last year they went right out and drafted Bebe. I’m not saying this to poopoo on Hoffman, he is a good backup and can hold down a few games for you as a starter. But he is not a full time starter, he doesn’t have the strength nor consistent technique. The fact that Bebe as a ROOKIE put better film out than Hoffman is telling. But hey we will see at training camp exactly how this all shakes down
