Mario Cristobal on Markel Bell

I sent this to an nfl scout familiar with Mario and he said he hasn’t heard him talk about an OLineman like this before he steps on campus.

I would keep a very close eye on the potential for Bell to play early here.

Does Rivers kick inside if Bell starts?

Bell and Francis at T
Rivers and Cooper at G
Carpenter at C

Hopefully Samson stays too

Its nice to have a coach who makes OL the priority

 

[AUcane]

Audio cut off - did he ever answer the question of where he’ll line up? Will be interesting to see where he does since rivers was really good at LT and not sure FM will move inside.

Frame reminds me of King Dunlap.

That was his full answer.

I think Rivers and Mauigoa are both possibilities to slide to guard. Both are interior linemen at the next level most likely.

Good Lord that is a meat grinder of an Oline

This is a sensitive subject on this board but I think this is our best version of the Oline. Rivers also projects as a Guard in the NFL. I know he played well at LT last year, but still feel like he moves inside.

 

[YankeesCane]

Does he have a QB to protect?

Or it could be Nelson.

Ok, I'm kidding. Guy could have a PhD before he leaves

 

[JHallCanes]

People on the board have suggested he’s a year away

So this is great news

If he’s legit I still like the idea of Mauigoa replacing Cohen. He can be even better than Cohen there.

Rivers
Mauigoa
Carpenter
Cooper
Bell/Samson/McCoy

But obviously Mauigoa can handle RT as well so just depends on that group of young guys and Bell and how they step up to get the best 5 out there

Thanks and makes sense. Big question is where does McCoy go? Still a reserve?

Rivers, yes.

Mauigoa is still TBD. I’d like to see how his pass set improves this offseason.

This is not my opinion on Mauigoa. I've heard this from NFL people

Bro stfu..it’s not funny anymore try different jokes

 

[Caned Peach]

Bell is a mountain of a human. He badly dwarfed one opponent

 

[Tonio]

An embarrassment of riches to have guys like Samson and McCoy to not be able to crack the starting 5 plus guys like Kinsler and Tripp

 

[305to954]

I think McCoy will be given the first opportunity too crack the rotation this year fellas

 

[yuhot]

You cant bench Cooper
