My eye test on the two O line guys that Cal picked up in the portal least season - Tj Session and Spencer Lovell - were pretty much busts. Session in particular could not handle the speed of edge rushers coming at him from his right tackle position. It's going to be difficult to attract talented O line transfers to a place like Cal, so it's going to take some some in-house building that takes longer than one season to turn around. I expect more O line problems next year if an immobile guy like Plummer is the starter again.
TJ has the athletic ability, he just needs to be coached up better and needs a LOT more reps in practice. The poor play of our tackles, in my mind, was on McClure. He just didn't seem to understand what it takes for guys on the outside to succeed in pass pro.

Why? He only had a couple of weeks to help mid season. I think he did the best he could. If you mean Greatwood that is.
