After re-reading this, I see no reason at all, why Trenton cannot excel in this O. He is agile, lite on his feet, and can move quickly .why anyone should think he cannot master lateral movement is beyond me. If it is because he is so large, with agile feet, it should be no problem.
trenton has short area quickness but really struggles to engage on the second level.
Kujon, a lot of folks have posted that, but i rewatched all Trenton's games this yr, just fixed on him(my favorite player). And you are right at times, but other times, i have seen him crush a DE and then pancake an OLB right after that. Not just once but enough. I have seen him whiff at LOS, and i have seen him miss on 2nd level. But my overall sense is a lot of that is experience, and the more he got the better he got. The most interesting game he played was the first of the last two games in 2015. Man he looked green and almost like he didn't know what he was doing out there. By the end of the game, he had played decently, not great , not awful. Didn't miss many blocks. What was really fine tho, was at end of game you could see him look around the field and almost see him realizing...."Man, I can do this" Taken in 7th rd couple yrs before, i truly do not think he thot he could do this. But his natural hand eye coordination, his ability to dunk a basketball, his pancakes, his agility, ability to move sideways....i just think he will excel with a great teacher. Sure he isn't typical ZBS material, but he sure is a talented massive mountain of a man. He whiffed a couple times this past yr, but that is unusual. He also threw von miller around when we practiced wth them, and then miller beat him a couple times... but if you isolated on them...man it was beautiful thing to watch. One skilled, best in the business, the other raw, or partially cooked, but hanging in there with the BEST. It was impressive, even tho only a practice.
So it will be of interest to see how he does with 2nd level blocking this yr. I'm betting he does fine. Seems to take coaching well, and as we all have seen , is strong as an ox...or two.
