After finally corralling the coaches film through various sources, I started my weekly tape review of the trenches. My focus began with assessing the two highest drafted offensive linemen in the 2021 class (Penei Sewell & Rashawn Slater) and how they fared in their debuts. I put together a synopsis of each player’s outing with video included.
Great job again, I came in here with the idea watching both games that I thought Slater was actually even better than Sewell's hyped up debut so Im glad you agree. Question from what you saw out of Sewell in college/preseason/week1/what youve heard in general, why do you think Sewell had a more difficult than expected transition to RT when he attempted it in camp/preseason?
Obviously you have to change alot footwork wise, technique wise, hand placement wise, balance wise etc going from LT to RT. The thing I gathered and you can tell me if Im wrong is the big issue for Sewell is that at RT his footwork was just slower getting out of his sets. Is that what you thought most of his issue was his footwork at RT or was it just a bunch of things he struggled with in the transition? Asking because if it was only one specific thing wondering if that might be more correctable through just focusing/working on it specifically. I believe Taylor Decker played some RT in college, if Det puts Decker at RT when he comes back wondering if you think there might be a similar struggle for him transitioning.
