It is rare that a 4-star talent is asked to switch positions but it all started when the Georgia offensive line coach wanted to Gaillard to get some reps in at guard during a spring practice his freshman season. He did pretty well and was moved to right guard going into his redshirt freshman season and got some game action. His redshirt sophomore season he started all 13 games and right guard. Going into the 2017 season Georgia needed to find a starter at center and Gaillard answered the call starting all 15 games. This past season he started every game again and was named team captain and received 2018 All-SEC honors as well. His game isn’t always pretty but he always found a way to clear rushing lanes for the likes of Nick Chubb, Sony Michel, and DeAndre Swift among others which has helped Georgia maintain its prolific rushing attack over the years. He’s described as intelligent and tough with the leadership quality you want at the position. He’s a mauler who has relied on his strength and his attitude to win match ups in college but he has both the physical and mental tools to become a legit starter down the road with some development.StrengthsGood size, strength, arm length, and finishing for the position. He’s a mauler who works in a phone booth but is just somehow able to clear rushing lanes despite his lack of refined technique. Hand placement is generally good and he generates so much power in his punch and arm extension that he can simply overpower his opponents. Footwork, core, and base are just good enough that he can absorb power rushers and reset and anchor.Has good enough athletic ability to get to his assignment on the second level or while pulling. Has experience at guard and center.Plays with good recognition and seems to identify stunts and twists. Pre snap he is responsible for pointing out linebacker position and making line adjustments. Regarded as a tough guy with leadership quality. Finishes blocks with a mean streak.WeaknessesTechnique is inconsistent and all over the plays at times. Terrible habit of dropping head down once he snaps the ball this can cause him to whiff at times. He bends at the waist and compromises leverage causing balance issues.Can be beat by speed interior rushers and needs to learn how to handle that as well as how to combat counter moves by defensive linemen. Once beat he doesn’t really have a chance at recovery.Much better as a run blocker than pass protector because his footwork is dragging behind and he can lose contact and control.While I appreciate that he looks to help out his teammates he needs to make sure his assignment is handled first. I saw some strange and inexplicable blocks pass off because his attention got caught up elsewhere. Let’s see his work (#53 C):More Lamont Gaillard videosHow He Would Fit On The RedskinsGaillard is definitely a raw player and relatively inexperienced at the position but I can see why some scouts, especially those looking for a player with some strength and power in the middle of the defense, would be excited about his upside. His mauling and phone booth ability would certainly be welcome in a power scheme like the Redskins but he’s going to really have to improve his fundamentals before he is ready to start. It may take Gaillard a season or two before he is up to the task of starting but I think he is certainly a project worth developing especially if the Redskins wait yet again on iOL help in the draft. In a really shallow center class is hard to predict exactly when and where he goes but if he makes it to the Redskins second 3rd round pick or even better Dwayne Haskins Jersey , day 3 of the draft, I would hope he would start entering the discussion. While he looked pretty good at center these past two years I think he could be similarly effective at LG eventually. Though he may not see the field as a starter immediately he would give the team some versatility and depth at both positions while he is working on his game. ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Colt McCoy still hasn’t had a single rep in practice with Washington’s first-team offense this season. That will finally come after his first NFL start in nearly four years.After Alex Smith’s gruesome leg injury only four days earlier, and a short week to prepare for a Thanksgiving Day game in his home state, McCoy threw for 268 yards and two touchdowns Thursday. But he also tossed three interceptions in a 31-23 loss at Dallas that let the Cowboys tie the Redskins for the NFC East lead.“Just sort of a freak week, with that happening to Alex, short week, on the road, Texas, where I played college ball,” McCoy said. “There were some emotions, but I just did my best to tune those out and played ball. Ultimately Wes Martin Jersey , I made some mistakes I wish I had back.”The Redskins (6-5) had a 13-10 lead after McCoy threw his second TD pass, a 10-yarder to Trey Quinn in the third quarter.But that lead was gone after Dak Prescott’s touchdown passes of 40 and 90 yards to Amari Cooper in a span of less than five minutes later in the period.Weeks before his previous start in December 2014, McCoy’s last NFL victory came in another road game against the Cowboys — a 20-17 overtime win on Oct. 27, 2014, when he was 25-of-30 passing for 299 yards. In his only other previous game at AT&T Stadium, McCoy was the quarterback for Texas in a win over Nebraska in the 2009 Big 12 championship game.“He still has not had one rep in practice with the first team,” Redskins coach Jay Gruden said. “All that being said, he made some poor decisions obviously. But he made some incredible plays, some incredible throws I think we can build off.”The Redskins and McCoy have some extra time to get ready for their next game, a week from Monday at Philadelphia.“I think it’ll help. I think it’ll help me, but I think it will help everybody,” McCoy said.Now in his fifth season as Washington’s backup quarterback Womens Bryce Love Jersey , McCoy had only appeared in four games for the Redskins before Thursday. unday’s 23-21 loss to Houston. A potential winning drive stalled near midfield, and Dustin Hopkins‘ 63-yard field goal try fell short with 3 seconds left.McCoy looked as if he hadn’t started a game in a long time early against the Cowboys, throwing into double coverage on his first play. He fumbled while trying to scramble on his third, but Washington recovered.But McCoy settled in with a couple of third-down passes to Jordan Reed to keep drives going, then hit Vernon Davis in stride on a 53-yard touchdown — the longest Washington completion of the season — for a 7-7 tie.“I felt like he did a great job,” Redskins running back Adrian Peterson said. “We didn’t have any live action this week in practice, so for him to come out and perform the way that he performed, I tip my hat off to him.”Gruden said the Redskins didn’t have to change how they called plays and should be better with the upcoming practice — and McCoy getting first-team snaps in practice for the first time since summer workouts.“Colt pretty much handled all the formations, all the tempos, all the run checks,” Gruden said. “I don’t think there were any problem areas with communication.”
