Posted Sept. 22, 2010

Arizona State vs. Wisconsin


Lawrence Guy

1st - 14:21 - Good job blowing up gap and taking RG out of play to free up LB

1st - 13:56 - Gets pushed back here and doesn't hold ground ... got a little too high and bad hand use... lack of wide body mass might hurt him

1st - 13:18 - Good motor and assists on tackle ... nice range

1st - 11:37 - Gets angle blocked and taken to ground ... lacks power to maintain base vs. Moffitt

1st - 3:49 - Lacks great power/mass ... getting flushed by G John Moffitt and overpowered (Moffitt is a 2nd-4th rd G prospect for 2010 class)

2nd - 9:15 - Struggling vs. Wisconsin OL ... not a lack of effort, but gets a little too high and not holding gap

2nd - 8:01 - Much better job with hand use and at point of attack here

Guy doesn't stop fighting ... terrific motor and very competitive

2nd - 3:15 - Quick off snap ... stays low ... nice hand extension ... continues to fight and use hands to maintain separation ... shows very good strenght ... defensive backs provide good coverage to make QB hold on a second longer ... Guy earns sack.

2nd 0:36 - Driven off line again by 58


John Moffitt

Didn't take notes in 1st QTR ... Very powerful, more than held his own vs. Guy ... strong hands, once he locks on battle is over ... physical and a nice drive blocker ... doesn't have great agility or mobility ... blue collar guard prospect.

2nd - 14:55 - Nice awareness on line stunt pickup

2nd - 8:39 - Uses size too much here ... natural knee bender? ... Off balance and bent at waist too much

2nd - 2:39 - Destroys DT Lawrence Guy here ... gets nasty ... powerful, strong ... dominant run block on a clutch 3rd and 2 ... nice job staying low off snap and using hands to control

2nd - 0:45 - Shows us here in pass pro that he isn't a natural knee bender ... too high and DT gets him off balance a little bit
