According to the Houston Chronicle’s Aaron Wilson, McGary is set to meet with 14 NFL teams by the time the 2019 NFL Draft begins. Although the Texans are not specifically mentioned as a stop on McGary’s trip around the NFL, he could be a potential option for Houston in either the first or second rounds. McGary’s resume is quite robust.He’s a three year starter at right tackle for the Washington Huskies, a two-time All Pac-12 selection, and one of the best stories of this draft class. Measuring in at 6’7” and 317 pounds, he has the build of a starting right tackle in the league. In his three years starting, McGary played against fourteen ranked opponents, so you can't say that he has faced elite talentMcGary is a beast at the point of contact.He understands leverage and how to effectively combo block with his fellow lineman.On this play against Utah, McGary (#58) blasts the defensive tackle out of the hole in a counter run and then works his way up to steamroll a smaller linebacker.He is the type of lineman who's only intention is to bury you. That tenacity is more than welcome at any level of football, and certainly in the NFL.McGary does a good job staying low and driving his feet throughout the play to create a massive hole for his running back.His inside run blocking game is top notch when everything is working in tandem. What McGary is not: a polished pass protector who can maintain blocks and knows how to anchor down against adept pass rushers. McGary’s Kryptonite in the pass blocking game is speed. Let’s roll the film.Yikes Play No. 1:McGary is at right tackle with a wing back to his outside. This forces the defender to play a wide-9 technique instead of being directly on top of the offensive tackle. This creates a longer route for the defensive end to get to the QB, but it also creates more distance between him and McGary.On this play, McGary whiffs because he lunges at the defensive end as he moves up the field instead of kick-sliding back to meet the DE where he is trying to go. Yikes Play No. 2:McGary gets beat around the corner by a speedy DE. All the defender does is emphatically swipe at McGary’s hands and dip his shoulders.That was enough to get by him.Without being able to grab onto the DE Zach Cunningham Jersey , McGary has to drop his shoulders to extend further out.He crosses his feet and forces the QB to run up into the pocket too early.Yikes Play No. 3:The kick-slide. The few plays where Washington throws the ball more than 12 yards down the field offer the best view into McGary’s current pass blocking technique.From this play, it’s apparent that McGary has some learning to do before NFL pass rushers come calling. Imagine Bradley Chubb going against McGary at this point. A player like Chubb, who will normally line up against the right tackle, could have some serious success against McGary if the young lineman cannot learn to get depth in his kick slide.Yikes Play No 4:To be fair, I actually am a fan of McGary and his run blocking film, but the Texansneed to know that the hype train running McGary’s stock up may be masking some flaws in his game.Here the Huskies have three players blocking two Buckeyes, which allows two linebackers to run untouched into the backfield. Now, there were other definite lapses in protection on this play, but McGary recognizing delayed blitzes such as this play will be critical for him if he wants to stay on the outside on the next level. I rarely believe that a player who has played tackle his entire career can seamlessly transition inside to guard and realistically thrive there, yet McGary may be one of those cases where guard could be a better fit than tackle in the NFL. A 6’7” guard may cause some vision problems for the QB, but his ability to combo-block and mauler mentality make him a good fit at right guard. The Texans’ first and foremost need right now is offensive linemen with the ability to maintain a block. No holding. No cut blocking (which you see quite often in the UW-OSU game from McGary). No watching the QB get sacked. Washington’s system didn't prepare McGary to be a Day One starter in the NFL, and the Texans need a Day One starter. With the league-wide interest in McGary peaking right before the draft Lonnie Johnson Houston Texans Jersey , the Texans will likely only get one shot at drafting McGary: in the first round.With that in mind, I wouldn’t want to see McGary wearing a Texans hat after the 23rd pick is announced.If he falls into the second round, however, I would not be afraid of the Texans taking him with one of their two picks there and pairing him with another early round offensive lineman. Still, there would need to be a plan in place to let McGary shine in the run game and develop in pass protection.The team that takes a flier on McGary needs to focus on developing his technique, not submerging him in a fledgling offensive line. The chase to Atlanta is on.The regular season is over and there are 12 teams remaining in the run to the Super Bowl. And at the top of the AP Pro32 poll, the new year starts right where the previous one ended.The New Orleans Saints, Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears, the top three seeds in the NFC, retained their top three spots in the final AP Pro32 poll of the season.New Orleans received 11 of the 12 first-place votes for 382 points in balloting Wednesday by media members who regularly cover the NFL. New Orleans will open the playoffs at home in the divisional round on Sunday, Jan 13.“The Saints lost in Week 1 and Week 17, both at home Lonnie Johnson Jersey 2019 ,” said Ira Kaufman of Fox 13 in Tampa, Florida. “In between, Drew Brees and company established themselves as the team to beat in the Super Bowl chase.”The Rams, who also finished 13-3 in the regular season, will start their postseason at the Coliseum on Saturday, Jan. 12. The Bears will close wild-card weekend when they host the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles on Sunday.The next six spots in the poll are all taken by the AFC’s playoffs teams.The Chiefs, who have the AFC’s top seed, are No. 4. Kansas City, which received the remaining first-place vote — from John Czarnecki of Fox Sports — has won the AFC West for three consecutive seasons. Patrick Mahomes, who finished with 5,097 yards and 50 TD passes, will try to get Kansas City its first home playoff win since the 1993 season.“MVP front-runner Patrick Mahomes finished a brilliant first season as a starter with 50 touchdown passes Color Rush Lonnie Johnson Jersey ,” said Newsday’s Bob Glauber. “With home-field advantage in the AFC playoffs, is a Super Bowl berth next?”The Los Angeles Chargers and New England Patriots finished in a tie at No. 5 in the poll.The Patriots, who won the AFC East for the 10th straight season and 15th time in the past 16 seasons, are the No. 2 seed in the AFC. They are trying to reach their ninth Super Bowl in the Bill Belichick-Tom Brady era. They are also trying to become the first team since the 1990s Buffalo Bills to return to the Super Bowl after losing it the previous season, and the first since the 1992 Bills to make a third successive trip to the big game.The Chargers, despite finishing with the same record as the Chiefs at 12-4, lost the tiebreaker and are the No. 5 seed in the AFC. They will head to Baltimore to face the AFC North champion Ravens on Sunday. The Ravens are No. 9 in the poll.AFC South rivals Houston and Indianapolis are Nos. 7 and 8 in the poll. Those teams will open the postseason in Houston on Saturday when they meet for the third time after splitting their previous meetings.“Just wish they had another WR,” Czarnecki said of the Texans. Houston’s DeAndre Hopkins finished second in the NFL with 1,572 yards, but the depth took a hit when Demaryius Thomas was lost for the season with an Achilles tendon injury.Seattle and Dallas, who meet Saturday night in Texas, are 10th and 11th in the poll. The Seahawks and Cowboys both finished 10-6. They met in Seattle in Week 3 Cheap Lonnie Johnson Jersey , when the Seahawks won 24-13.The team that made the biggest climb from the first poll, which was released before the season started, was the Bears, who started out at No. 28 and finished at No. 3. And the team that had the biggest drop was the Jacksonville Jaguars, who began at No. 7 and ended up at No. 28.The Arizona Cardinals, who finished with the worst record in the NFL at 3-13 and have the No. 1 pick in April’s draft, were a unanimous choice for last place in the poll.
