Backpeddling OL in pass protection sucks ass.
First, you’re asking the least athletic position group on the field to do prob the most athletic movement on the field. What could go wrong asking 300-330 pound kids to backpeddle???
Second, how do you punch with power when your feet are never anchored?
Third, how do you sink your hips and punch with power? Lowering your center of gravity while backpeddling and maintaining balance???
Fourth, how do you be successful as an offensive lineman with a high pad level, high center of gravity, weak punch and never have your feet in the ground to deliver or receive contact?
McGuire sucks because the technique he teaches sucks. Mason Miller teaches different technique, has much more success.
Whatever talent he left is irrelevent. He would fuc$ it up. It is possible to coach kids up and down.
There is a reason the sacks went way down. It was because McGuire left.
There are 4 positions you cannot screw up when hiring. OL, QB, DL and DB.
In other news, Dickert just changed the offense from a scheme that can get by with a qb that has accuracy issues at times…. to a scheme whose guru says accuracy is the most important skillset for the qb.
