I was watching a replay of the TCU Air Force for a little while. I focused on Cannon only. He does not look like a 358lb fatty, I'll tell you that. he moved very well.

He has very quick feet and gets to the second level very quickly. He is a very good run blocker and although there were not very many passing downs he seem to pickup stuns and held AF's best pass rusher at bay. Seems to have a sudden and powerful hand punch.

He should be a natural at RG, if he get's healthy.

The knock on him (just from reading, not from seeing) is that his football intelligence is not the best and he struggles with picking up stunts. So it's good to hear you state the opposite. Once his health is good enough that he can play, I'll be fascinated to see what he can do. I don't want to prejudge a guy by the words of some media scout who is trying to review 300 players.

With Cannon and Solder and Vollmer and assuming they sign Mankins, that's a lot of high-speed tonnage. A lot of big men with little feet. You'd never see a guy like Woodhead coming from behind them.

He'll probably land on the PUP or IR list this year but I'm very excited to see him compete although that shouldn't happen until next year.

When watching, I was not concerned anything other than watching him move and if he played with a good base. I was very pleased to see that he played every down and never gave up on a play.

Also, he quickness to the second level surprised me. Although he was playing left tackle I don't think he could in the NFL. Maybe that is why some guides downgraded him. Not seeing him play Guard, leaves some unanswered questions.

But I liked what I saw and did not expect to see a player that quick with such good feet movement.

Good to hear. I am looking forward to seeing him on the field, though that probably won't happen until the 2nd half of the year, if that. He's certainly a bargain and I am very content to see him go on PUP or IR if needs be to fully regain his health and get into solid football shape * conditioning.

He played T at TCU correct? I would really like to see an update on him, other than "Cannon was in shorts."

Yes, he was their left tackle as a senior. In fact, I believe Light, Mankins, Connolly, Kaczur, Vollmer, Solder, and Cannon were all college left tackles.

I like this fact. I think it's alot easier to move inside. Most college guards are guys who aren't athletic or quick enough to play T, so they move inside. With the exception of a few obviously(Mike Brewster and the Pouncey's come to mind), college interior offensive lineman aren't NFL material.

Mike Brewster has only played one position at Ohio State. Center. He came in as a LT but they moved him to Center (because in that recruiting class, OSU had two 5 star top 10 Tackle prospects).

I'm an OSU fan, I know this and pointed him out because of that. The point I was trying to make was that there are a few exceptions of guys who just play guard/C and make good NFL guard/C. Most OL who get drafted are T's.
