Lower is better, but a tall player that can bend his knees and get low, and use his hands has a TON more leverage than a shorter player does. That is why so many tall players have been successful playing DT. There are also plenty of short players who neutralize their natural leverage by standing up on the 1st step and losing all their leverage. You can lift a ton and be powerful in the weight room, but a DL has zero (functional) strength when you stand up and give away leverage. You can't use the strength you have, no matter how much you have.
Tillery's problem is that he takes himself out. He gets sloppy with technique and doesn't stay square, or will dip a shoulder like he is going around, giving up any leverage he has. He stays low, but you also have to stay square to the guy in front of you.
Tillery is simply guessing at where he thinks the ball is, and then just goes after that guess. He needs to read his keys and play his assignment. Every time he guesses and overcommitts by jumping out of a hole, or allowing himself to be pushed past a hole, he is leaving an undefended part of the DL. And with every NFL team playing at least some zone running, the RB are just looking for those cutbacks into those gaps he leaves. Tillery isn't the only one doing it, but that is why our run D is so putrid.“Less is more? NO NO NO - MORE is MORE!”

Thank you for offering a Saints personnel POV, for the Chargers. It is just that, I agree. Wouldn't that Saints principle also apply to Daniel Faalele? I would think a case could be made that he isn't nimble enough to get out in front of Ekeler on a screen. I don't object to Faalele, the player, not saying that. But are the Chargers better served by going RT in the 1st Round?
That is where I am currently at. I want to know who the Chargers right tackle is in 2022.
Occasionally, with the drop-off talent at EDGE after the 1st Round, I break from that scenario and go in EDGE Jermaine Johnson in the 1st Round and OT Jaxson Kirkland in the 2nd, as being a pro player's kid carries alot of weight with me.

Trey Pipkens balled out yesterday at RT. If he works his ass off the off-season, Chargers could swing taking Jermaine Johnson in the 1st, RG Zion Johnson in the 2nd.Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
The Wasted Decade is done.
Build Back Better.

What up Michael Schofield? Did he finally put it all together. He’s had some good games for us this year. I think we have good depth at RG for next year without taking one early in the draft. Especially in the first.
