Jayden Bass transferring to UConn

[GoSU96]

Yup Moeolo was the best lineman on the blue squad.

Agree

 

[Ottoman]

Both Moeolo and Ellis are Polynesian. Very strong/heavy lower bodies is a common trait, which means they tend to weigh more than people of comparable size. Not saying these guys are in peak condition, but I don't think we should write them off. Just my 2 cents as a Hawaii guy that has followed many Polynesian players over the years.

Thanks for the context

Look at some of the Polynesian wrestlers over the years. Heavy in the lower body but agile enough in their movements.

So, tell us you’ve got a lotta junk in your trunk without telling us you’ve got a lotta junk in your trunk.

Same with Mack.

Mack got a lot of snaps in the spring game and looked pretty solid.

Bass barely played. I think he saw the writing on the wall and it was probably read to him by Coach Fran earlier this week.

I wish him well.

And he looks in terrific shape. Very impressive player.

Yeah, that's great, but neither one got any push at all on running plays against the 2nd string defense.

Moeolo was good in pass coverage, as I've said a couple times now, because he has ridiculously thick legs and is an immovable object.

Ellis was simply not mobile enough to be effective. He had trouble getting off the field. Looks like knee problems.

I dont now about that. at thw 1 hr 45 mark. They were getting some yards on the left side with a walk on RB

Yeah, that's fine. I was at the game, in the lower level, around the 50 yard line.
I have eyes. I've been watching Syracuse football for 60 years.

That's great. It only took almost 2 hours.

You said Moeolo didnt get any push against the 2nd unit defense. Not true. He had good blocks that led to yardage all night.

 

[IthacaMatt]

I left in the third quarter. In the time I was there, as I've said several times now, he was good in pass protection, because nobody can push him back.

The 2nd string offense generated almost nothing in the entire first half, so I'm curious what great runs you are remembering.

We are talking about Moeola. Not the whole unit. He is not responsible for the whole offense. They had a walk on RB carrying the ball and still got push on the run plays. The unit as a whole weren't particularly good but he wasnt the reason for it.

Since you missed some of the game. Re watch it on you tube

 

[GoSU96]

You might have been at the game, but it appears you weren’t watching Moeolo

First snap of the game pushes 88 five yds upfield. Second play pulls right and puts a nice trap block on 30.

He played well. Showed the ability to execute combo blocks and get to the second level. Can’t do that if you can’t move.

I am still waiting for Bees to post the PFF grades from the spring game.

 

[sutomcat]

Agree

Totally on board with this as well. I don't think anyone else was very close.

I highly doubt Moeolo was worth a damn in pass coverage.

 

[upperdeck]

Well they were swapping the fake jerseys on and off pretty fast..

 

[IthacaMatt]

OK, bust my balls, but you can't push him backwards. His legs are too big.

Good for Bass. I bet he is a multi year starter for them.

 

[ImperialOrange]

Happy when our former players find a new school to continue their careers. Or in this case "school" but still good for him. More players in the portal than landing spots available it seems

 

[TexanMark]

Good for Bass. I bet he is a multi year starter for them.

Kid physically looks like it. He isn't some 250lbs get him to 290lbs kid and hope he plays by his RS JR year.

Yukon has had some historical success finding 2 and 3 star linemen and turning them into NFL players through development.

He could be a starter for Yukon by '25 if he develops there. A good pickup for them.

It'd be ironic if Hoeh and Bass are playing against Cuse this November in the Dome.

Speaking of Yukon, I see them bouncing back this Fall and sneaking into a 3rd tiered bowl if they get decent QB play. The FAU, GASt, Rice and at UAB games will be huge for them. All look to be competitive. I think they'll be 5-5 visiting us.
