His name is Stone Forsythe.

[Bolt Dude]

His name is Stone Forsythe.

Pretty cool name, but how’s his lateral agility?

[Boltnut]

His name is Stone Forsythe.

Definite UDFA and practice squad guy. Good competition for Storm and Pip.

[Boltnut]

Pretty cool name, but how’s his lateral agility?

It's OK. I think he's a RT. Here's a 2019 tape @ LT but he's also played RT. Looooong arms.
I posted his name and tape 3 months ago as a sleeper. No one was impressed back then.

Why? I have Jones as a first rounder. Not Mond, Not Lance but I have Jones ranked 16th but that means nothing to GMs.

I may have confused you for someone
all good fun
I like Simms and not just for the bold takes
He’ll be a GM one day if he aspires to be

I was fortunate enough to sit down and talk to former Illinois guard Kendrick Green to pick his brain and get an inside look at his mindset going into this year’s draft.

Overview


Green was recruited as a defensive tackle but switched to the offensive line as a redshirt freshman. Green started 33 games for the Illini, with 29 games at left guard and four at center. This past season, he was named USA TODAY second team All-America and All-Big Ten first team.

Green has good movement skills, is as durable as it gets and plays with a nasty disposition. While his pass protection is still a work in progress, he has the foot quickness, core strength and explosiveness up front to be impactful.

Green projects to be a strong contributor inside, either at center or guard. It may take him a year to carve up a starting role, but given his physical tools and willingness to take it to his opponents in the passing and running game, he profiles well to the next level.


Describe your time working with Duke Manyweather, the leading expert on NFL offensive linemen.
I’m really enjoying it. Duke is one of the best at what he does and he’s taught me a lot. There’s a great group of guys out here, too.

You leave Illinois for the next level as an experienced interior offensive linemen. You really were one of the leaders of that offense. How does that experience serve you well going forward?
Being a leader you learn as you go to become a better teammate than you already are. Also, getting the trust from the guys in the locker room is a big thing for me, as well.

What do you enjoy the most about playing on the offensive line?
I like being a part of a wave, ya know? A unit, but of multiple parts. I think that’s the best part, but you get to play physical at all times.

Most of your experience has come at left guard, but you’ve played center. What do you feel is your best position at the next level?
I think I play both very well. I’ve been working on both in my training, snapping the football and working on some guard stuff, as well. Wherever a team wants me, I going to play at 110%.

Is there one scheme that fits you best?
Honestly, I can play in zone schemes. I can play in gap schemes. I can do a lot very well.

What’s your favorite way to demoralize your opponent?
Try to take him into that deep water. Just wear him out the whole game, play through the whistle and break their spirit. I like to talk a lot on the field, too. I’m a big talker.

How do you react if someone delivers a late hit on your quarterback?
Gotta go get him back, in between the whistle.

Do you have a preferred pass set?
Not really. I do a little bit of everything.

What kind of impact is Kendrick Green going to make at the next level?
I am going to bring a sense of competitiveness and dependability. I want to be a guy for a team who can be plugged in right away and not have to worry about the position until my career is over

His arms do look long. But the thing that kept jumping out at me was an inability to keep balanced and maintain contact/correct positioning after his initial punch. That’s a symptomatic of slow, sloppy and/or uncoordinated footwork.

If he is right in his takes he just might. Or certainly at least be NFLN's new guy like Mayock was. But not having Horn as a top 5 CB is a test for him and having Surtain #2 because of his speed isn't sub 4.4.

I think Farley, JOK, Moerig, Phillips, and possibly Parsons all slide past 13.

Would be amazing !

[AK47]

I dont think Tyler Shelvin is the type of NT we are looking for. Those days of the typical ol 3-4 for us w/ Staley are gone....and we wont be playing a 3-4 base all that often but player personel will dictate that more. But from what he did last year, id say no and has been spelled out in here often.

...not just our pops' 3-4 from the Wade days, but a Staley 3-4. Meaning we can change up as needed. Problem is we can't run an effective 3-4 if needed to which sort of limits our hybridation. Then again Gus with a 3-4 is like giving a millennials and generation Z folks a manual stick shift and an extra pedal. To win the SB you have to get past KC. To beat KC you have to defend them. Consider this....

• vs. Chargers: 51 percent success rate vs. 3-3-5 (33 snaps), 45 percent vs. 3-4 (11 snaps) Year where we beat them in Arrowhead.
• vs. Steelers: 58 percent success rate vs. 2-3-6 (19 snaps), 29 percent vs. 3-4 (14 snaps)

To beat Andy Reid you have to start playing chess on the field. You have to make in-game changes. A 3-4 opens more of the playbook for you defensively. I'm not saying we change to full 3-4 fulltime...but when we do we better win at the point of attack. This Shelvin kid is arguably the best NT of the class. Lots of media and forum chatter of the Pats getting him though in the 2nd or 3rd round.
