Duffy:  (Scheme fit) 

Player Summary:

This fifth year Tackle will be looking to start for his third full season. He has a thick base, and a tight yet chunky midsection, carrying more of a Guards frame. He plays with a fast twitch using his quick feet, making him quick off the snap, fast to the 2^nd level, showing good recovery potential. His foot movement bolsters his sturdy lower body which he uses to drive defenders out of their gaps or effectively turn them, as well as stalemating some of the stronger lineman. Additionally, it allows him to quickly arrive and seal a pull or trap. On second level blocks he is dangerous, once he lays his body on the defender, they are rendered ineffective. In zone blocks, he quickly crosses the defenders’ shoulders and can kick out with relative ease. Christian plays with fire and pride in pass pro, competing hard to the whistle. He possesses a solid Anchor that holds up when he is out maneuvered and stands firm against bull rushes holding up with formidable leverage.

 

His slow turn ability in pass pro, allows rushers to arc to the QB. This also affects blitzers or delayed rushers coming from either side as he struggles to pick up the second rusher, opening a quick path to the backfield. He struggles to adjust to defenders throughout the game, causing mistakes to constantly repeat. His biggest weakness is with UOH, and wide hand placement. This affects EVERY facet of his game. On run plays and screens, while he is quick to the defender and provides a successful initial pop, it is often negated by his ability to maintain the block, allowing LB’s to fight off blocks before the ball carrier arrives. In pass pro, he is a decently executed move away from giving up his outside shoulder exposing a short path to the QB, and loss of the ability to mirror. 

Scheme Fit:

Zone Scheme with quick passes in an RPO/Possession, or heavy run Offense

If 3 SC players equals an unhealthy relationship, then we have one with Virgina Tech too. But what do you call our 5 player relationship with LSU?

Tepper era 

2024 - Gamecock in draft 

2023 - Gamecock in draft, Gamecock in FA 

2022 - Gamecock in FA 

2021 - 2 Gamecocks in draft 

2020 - 2 Gamecocks in FA

2019 - Gamecock in draft 

that’s a quirky trend that’s not any other school.  Not claiming that means anything outside if I had to make a silly guess on something….I guess Gamecock

Well, they have a struggling program too, so maybe Tepper thinks they will fit in well here.  Players from winning schools have higher standards and that makes Tepper feel insecure.
