Bryan Mone . . . Out of the blue.

[McGruff]

Did some film review on Bryan Mone, who literally came out of no where to make the roster. Never heard of him, even through OTAs and TC.

Then he was taking first team snaps in preseason games and standing out.

Strong leverage player. Stays low and strong with good base.

He doesnt win, but he doesnt lose. Immovable. Strong.

Plays both gaps well when being blocker. Can shed to either side if the ball carrier comes near.

Makes tackles while being blocked.

Looks long limbed. Lots of tipped passes in college.

Hustles through the play, making plays downfield.

Interesting player. Dirty work guy. Reminds me of what we thought Reed would be, before Reed became better than most thought.

Sounds like he and Poona are two of a kind.

And that would be a good thing.

:snack:

 

[pehawk]

Whoa...deja vu.

 

[jammerhawk]

Certainly not small at 6’3”, 366 lbs, 34” arms. He seems very stout against blocking and he clogs up the middle.

Watching him when he played in the preseason, he looked hard to move.

My thought was he outplayed almost all the other NTs and I thought he’d make the team.

He’s the only UDFA on the 53 from this year’s class.

To me he didn’t look like a fatty, as the college combine profiles guardedly regarded him to be.

After a season competing in a pro weights program this kid could be a special find, like Poona.

He immediately boosts the response to heavy run packages and goal line defense.

The prospects for a no run zone between the tackles likely takes a big step forward.

Linebackers have got to be excited about Bryan More keeping them clean.

Plays both gaps well when being blocker.

Curious how a defensive player blocks. Or was Mone used on offense in the past?

Typo. "Blocked"

Yeah that.

Would like to see him actually get some movement once or twice though. He's a constant stalemate, which is both good and bad. Problem is he's seemingly too big to not get some movement at least here and there. He probably needs to lose weight to be more useful.

I would agree. That's kind of what I meant by he doesnt win, but he doesnt lose.

I think he needs more upper body strength. His anchor is good, but doesnt tranfer that to power.

That's what the back of the roster is for IMO. He is on the official 53 roster, but probably not the game day roster very much this season. Kinda like what they did with Poona last season. A season of Pro Football weight room and proper diet could really help this kid.

 

[A-Dog]

He doesn't really get moved but also you don't see him anticipating or getting off blocks

Good for making piles but not so much for making plays. Useful, with upside - agree he could benefit from a professional diet/fitness program and some more upper-body strength and shed technique

 

[chris98251]

Not getting moved is his job, when you can close two to three lanes by not being moved you make the rest of the offense more predictable, he's not about pursuit, not about sacks, or even a lot of tackles because they don't go there.

 

[sutz]

Being an anchor is great, but even on goal line situations, movement and penetration can be a positive.

But like was said, he might be the 3rd/4th DT in the rotation anyway.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Mone, BBK and Ursua all making the team. Love love love

 

[orca]

My guess is that Mone will head for the Practice Squad once Jarran Reed gets back.

Good guess.

No wonder he's immovable -- his legs are crazy thick and perhaps a bit stouter than average. Scroll down to photo #31 here:
