CFZ Offensive Line Deep Dive: PS Game 2

[Carson]

Seeing this makes me worry less about the OL. Richards, Ball and Bass are all playing well enough to make the 53.

Asim Richards - Tied for Best OL of the game (as a tackle only!!). Y’all…this guy is really good. LT just looks so easy for him. He NEVER once got beat inside and he did an excellent job pushing outside rushers upfield. Pancaked like 6 guys throughout the game, including one play where he packaged his man, Hoffman, and Hoffmans man haha. He recovers so fast when moves are put on him. He’s so good I wouldn’t even move Tyler Smith if Tyron got hurt. Just play Asim cause he’s pretty awesome. Not there as a guard yet. Glad he’s getting practice, but he needs to get stronger. Frankly got blown up as a guard a couple times due to strength issues. This guy is BY FAR your best backup tackle, though I’ve never seen him play the right side.

I do want to point out that once in the first two drives he did get beat to the inside. His man ripped his hands down and crossed to get pressure on the QB. Hoffman tried to help but couldn't get there in time. Overall, I agree that his play was the best on those two drives but it's incorrect to say he NEVER once got beat inside.
