First off, It was not Linval Joseph who beat Mankins to stuff BJGE. It was Chris Canty. Secondly, he was able to do it because Mankins got off balance slightly. Lastly, Lousako Polite, who is supposed to clean up anything that the O-line doesn't take care of, BLEW BY Canty totally and Canty was able to clean up BJGE easily.
So, people claiming that Mankins "sucked" or was a turnstile on that play are talking out their rear ends.
So he got off balance, but he didn't suck/wasn't a turnstile on that play?
Sounds like threading the needle to me. Overall, he didn't have the type of game you'd expect from a top-5 OG, and was eerily similar to his other subpar playoff games of late.
