If somebody is claiming that the idea of Koppen having trouble against bull rushes is somehow new -- that's ludicrous. It's been said around here by many people who want to get rid of him, and agreed to by plenty who want to keep him even so.
Connolly frequently had Waters tap him on the arm so that he'd know when to hike the ball. So that's an advantage for Koppen, unless Connolly can overcome it in the off-season.
Koppen's lack of position flexibility is not a big issue, given that Connolly does have flexibility.
That wasn't the claim. Koppen's struggles with the bull rush were obvious.
