He’s definitely a specimen. What’s kept him off the field?Neighbor2972 said: -
Nothing, he was only a RS Freshman last year. He's not as versatile as Mele or Curne so they got more opportunitieslawsandl said:

What makes a 6’6” 355 freak less versatile? He looks like Tarzan. Washington and Oregon olines are going to bend teams over.Neighbor2972 said:

He looks great, but let’s face it, there aren’t a ton of good 355 pound OL. It’s heavy. You gotta be able to move. Not saying Ale can’t, but he’s not going to be good simply because he’s big.lawsandl said:

Nah. Honestly no bad reports. Typically reports are that he destroys people if he can get his hands on them. So run blocking huge plus, pass blocking needs work. Nothing has kept him off the field besides being just a True Frosh and then the next seasons RS Frosh with a bunch of upper classmen ahead of him that were already starters.lawsandl said:

He’s a guard for sure, and had a Junior in Wattenburg in front of him at LG (Ale’s likely position) and a RS Sophomore in Kirkland who was All Conference in front of him at RG. Then seniors at LT, C, and RT which are not his natural position anyway.
Penei is a freak of nature who could dominate from day 1. So you’ve been spoiled. Most offensive linemen need time to cook before they hit the starting lineup. The only one UW has that has a chance to play and play well as a Freshman is Murao at Center in my humble opinion. -

He would be beating out Forsyth and Poutasi. Forsyth, in particular, is a redshirt junior and was the first to rotate in after the 6 seniors last year. Mirabal really likes Denis.DoogCourics said:

As I said, no incumbent starters. You consistently bitch that no one gives you analysis to your simple questions about the UW roster. So I decided to engage. I should have known it would turn to a Quook fest about how good Oregon’s freshman are.lawsandl said:

You asked how a guy that looks like Ale hasn’t started and I mentioned he was a RS Freshman behind 3 senior starters, a RS Junior starter, and a RS Sophomore starter who was all conference. But you have to turn it to how Oregon’s freshman could do it. You know, you’re right. Denis likely beating out the 7th rotational guy from last year’s team is a fine accomplishment.
I’ve learned my lesson not to engage. Good luck the rest of the way. -

I was actually curious about Ale and what was holding him back. You mentioned older players in front of him. I didn’t predetermine your response. I didn’t ask in order to pimp Oregon. Had you said he needed to reshape his body or get the mental aspect down, it would’ve been the end.
I am sorry but UW’s oline last year had some cracks that a really good underclassmen should have broken.
I also don’t think Forsyth is a bad option. He may still end up with the job.

Ergo, the fact that Ale wasn’t able to exploit some “cracks” doesn’t mean much to this group.

He’s definitely a specimen. What’s kept him off the field?Neighbor2972 said:
He’s a guard for sure, and had a Junior in Wattenburg in front of him at LG (Ale’s likely position) and a RS Sophomore in Kirkland who was All Conference in front of him at RG. Then seniors at LT, C, and RT which are not his natural position anyway.
Penei is a freak of nature who could dominate from day 1. So you’ve been spoiled. Most offensive linemen need time to cook before they hit the starting lineup. The only one UW has that has a chance to play and play well as a Freshman is Murao at Center in my humble opinion.
You asked how a guy that looks like Ale hasn’t started and I mentioned he was a RS Freshman behind 3 senior starters, a RS Junior starter, and a RS Sophomore starter who was all conference. But you have to turn it to how Oregon’s freshman could do it. You know, you’re right. Denis likely beating out the 7th rotational guy from last year’s team is a fine accomplishment.
I’ve learned my lesson not to engage. Good luck the rest of the way.
I was actually curious about Ale and what was holding him back. You mentioned older players in front of him. I didn’t predetermine your response. I didn’t ask in order to pimp Oregon. Had you said he needed to reshape his body or get the mental aspect down, it would’ve been the end.
I am sorry but UW’s oline last year had some cracks that a really good underclassmen should have broken.
I also don’t think Forsyth is a bad option. He may still end up with the job.
Ergo, the fact that Ale wasn’t able to exploit some “cracks” doesn’t mean much to this group. -
Gotcha. So, it’s tough to assess what’s really holding a player back.Quietcowskee said:

Ale was always a project. He wasn't highly rated. He was just a huge guy and decent athlete who was exoected to be a factor in about year three. Its year three now and he's a factor. There is no reason to assume anything is holding him back, but its an expressed assumption in each of your posts.lawsandl said:

Eliminate that assumption, stop passive aggressively implying that he's behind Oregon's young OL, and the lack of negative responses might surprise you. -
No more Pete. The best should actually play now. If our best WRs and ILBs played all last year we would’ve been at least 10-2.lawsandl said:

Jonah Tauanu’u not in the mix is concerning for me. Randazzo can’t stay healthy and I am not sure Jaramillo has the talent.
Trust me. I have said on this board that OL is a huge question mark. Do I think that means Denis is getting the nod because we don’t have good options. No.
Both can be true. -
