Against our crappy line he was able to get contained, plus he does not have the size to play DE in the NFL. No telling on his coverage skills to play OLB.


Georgia's line was very, very good in 2014. Also, in that game, Beasley did not get many chances to rush the passer as Georgia continued to run it down their throats.

Beasley was brought to Atlanta to rush the passer. He's here hopefully to be another Terrelle Suggs.

I wouldn't say our line was very very good in 2014. Gurley and Chubb makes the line look better than they actually are. 2014 we had D Andrews and last year he was the only one missing and you see how bad they were. Theus has never been great at LT, he has been just an avg LT in the SEC. Pyke is pretty good and Houston isn't that great either. Our Oline showed its true colors this season once Chubb went down.

Even in 2014 Gurley got 60%+ of his yards after contact, so it wasn't like the line was giving him huge holes to run through either.

Also a lot of plays Vic will seem to take off or just not show that motor one would expect out of a 1st round or even a top 10 pick. Hopefully he can pick it up and play fast next year, and be more productive.
