I have seen a lot of people speak ill of the kid and use the typical negative characterizations and emotional generalizations. I am not a fan of that type of diatribe so in the interest of detail in terms of football as it is played on the field I wanted to talk about Ken for a bit.
He struggles with his technique on double teams especially when they come up behind him because hes not square to the line. He improved in that regard in the Denver game using his hands to prevent the OG from steering him. Versus single teams from the low end you have him giving up a yard or two which happened a couple times. High end has been unimpeded to the QB which has happened a couple times. He has beaten some double teams too mind you. Does a good job in his own right of turning and ripping through gaps. He is great on the goal line where you can just ask him to fire off and club to shock the OL. He has been a big part of the goalline and 3rd and short success which has been had during the preseason.
His ability to move along the line and do the stunts and twists is still a work in progress but he is moving better. He just needs to commit better when he does make his choice of which gap to attack.
Coleman has long arms so he can stack on top of a lot of interior OL shoulder which gives him a tremendous advantage. Bishop cannot do that and up until Denver when he would try to charge a gap he would just try to run through the block. OL turned him, center hooked him and away they went. Against Denver he started using his hands to chop away the OL's punch and was much more effective. Watching Marinelli and Lett develop Bishop and Coleman is fun to watch.
And lets keep in mind he's a small school interior linemen. He is already effective and is making progress on his weak points. I'm interested to see what an NFL training program can do for him.
