Everyone knows if you don’t gate Belichick he gets a little rowdy.

Now do they get enough pass pro reps that's a different discussion.
What the average run/pass ratio in an NFL offense?
I’m not bagging on Tega, but the pros evidently did not think he was a multi year sure fire starter.
In Gus’s offense, it may be harder to block effectively since when we make a first down, it’s hurry up and run inside zone.
Tega was the most talented of our starters on the offensive line. Injury, limited experience, measurables, and the type of offense MAY have contributed to him sliding to 6th round. It happens.
Maybe Tega will make the Eagles, become a starter, and have an NFL Hall of Fame career. Tom Brady was a sixth round pick. It could happen for Tega.

Not at 31. No way he will leave the NFL now.
He is going to have to stay healthy for sure, and be patient for 1 year as a backup or have a shot of starting if the current starter is hurt or ineffective. kind of like how Bridgewater had to do it in NO.
But after 1 year, if still a backup, he will be looking to get another starting job in 2021.

Just a quick glance at all the teams stats I would say it's probably 43 run 57 pass.
I have no idea what AU's run pass ratio is But probably around just the opposite which isn't out of the ordinary in college. Very few team run pass plays more then run plays.
What does Tega's measurables, injuries, etc have to do with play calling? Or our blocking schemes. OT was not the issue for last years Oline. It was the interior players. I think I saw somewhere where Driscoll was rated like 7th or 8th in the nation in pressures allowed and Tega wasn't far behind. The problem with Driscoll was he wasn't good at run blocking and Tega was obviously limited some by injury.
I'm a Gus supporter but I can recognize issues. I don't look at individual play calls as much as I do game plan. The only real issues I've had with Gus is UGa. We have lost to them I know 3 times where we had the better team and beat them once when I thought they had the better team. LSU the last second kick on the 2 PI penalties sucked but when we jumped out on them in Baton Rouge and then let them come back because we ran the power 2 straight plays then passed and Stidham had a horrible second half and they come back and won. That's on Gus. Minnesota this year was a head shaker but I don't think that is on Gus. Our defense didn't play with any emotion and our offense just went through the motions. That's bowl games for you unless they are in the playoff now. You don't know what you'll get. Other then those particular games I don't see where play calling or "being out coached" has come in the discussion while under Gus. I reserve the right that I may have missed a game somewhere but that's my general feeling about it. Do I want more? Of course. Will we get it? I have no idea. I will say that Bo Nix era will tell a lot about the future. If no SEC championship or playoff appearance Gus is done. Realistically I'd say that's 2 more years of Gus.

Wait, why? Bc the pats beat the Panthers in the super bowl that one time? I was like 12 when that happened, idc.
I love Hastings and root for the pats vs most teams. I love how everybody else hates them

I’m not beating up on Tega or Gus.
Just trying to understand how Tega May have fallen down from a potential fairly high pick(some were projecting as early as round 1 or 2, I would have guessed round 3 to 4), to a sixth round pick.
I guess teams had other needs is certainly part of it. I don’t know the exact nature of his injury history, but I figure that does not help. It seems, fair or not, that there is some bias against Gus offensive linemen. And in the grand scheme of things, Tega does not have long experience in the game of football. Somebody pointed out that 6’5” 309 is not as big as it used to be. Drafting order does not indicate the entire potential for a player. With hard work, Tega May become a multi time pro bowler.
All that said, I wish him well.

There’s disadvantages to Auburn’s scheme for NFL OL prospects.
We don’t huddle. Plays are called via board. We use 3pt stance less than almost every school. And going back to the route tree, we generally get the ball out fast to simple, shorter routes. OL assignments are very straight forward. Gives our OL less opportunity to display advanced pass protection skills.
So our offensive lineman will generally struggle to be drafted higher unless they’re just obviously dominant. Not sure Tega got to that point. But his biggest issue during the draft was that he didn’t have an opportunity to show that his knee was fine after being scoped

guaranteed money is just whatever the signing bonus is right?

I think anyone under 150K is qualified. His was brilliantly structured...

I don’t think $1,200 is really relevant in NFL contract negotiations.
Giving up guaranteed money for an extra $1200 is not really a good trade off. Especially for a rookie that went in the draft with injury concerns and likely dropped in the draft due to that injury.

And that’s ok.
If we compete for championships, I don’t care about NFL, however, talented players seem to care and that is the issue.
How do we recruit when our rivals have first round offensive line draftees? And we don’t typically?

The last few years, if I’m being honest, Gus & Co. have mostly targeted just big athletes and hoped they develop. There’s some outliers but that’s been the biggest thing.
It’s most noticeable at tackle. Our niche has become recruiting really tall, big athletes new to football or the offensive line. And Gus makes the position easy enough that they learn how to do it
