New Roster is up

[SUforme]

TBT I haven't been impressed with Elmore as a FB I'm not sure I have ever seen him really light up a defender and pancake him and if he has it's very rarely.

Elmore should stay on the defensive side imo

Sorry for targeting you because you're not the only one saying it, but:

What did you see from Elmore during his cameos on defense during the 2019 season that makes you think he should stay there?

That he’s a body that can give our interior a quick breather.

I don’t think he impacts blocking or moves the pile on well enough, from what I’ve seen, to keep him on O.

The trouble with truly assessing Elmore at DT is that he has not played much there since he arrived on campus. When he has played his primary responsibilities is offense. It would be good in the spring to see him play exclusively at DT. If not the staff probably feels confident with the current players.

He was used all the time in 2018, both as a lead blocker and as a blocking tight end. Devito's different game changed that, but I think he still has more value on O than D.

I thought that for not Playing the position seriously, Elmore was very good at locking up the OL. I recall numerous times where he would get his arms fully extended and his lower body/hips would shift towards the gap he had responsibility for. I remember saying to someone his impressive it was with presumed minimal reps. For Elmore to be helpful, he doesn’t have to be a TGL expert. He needs to take in the POA, clog gaps, not get blown back, and allot the LB core to do their job freely. I’m on team DT for Elmore.

I think Elmore’s value is his flexibility and willingness to do whatever helps the team. I don’t think that he is a standout talent on O or D but his team first approach is what sets him apart.

You know far more about these things than I do. I appreciate your input.
