Joe Thomas was a short shit too
some guys just know what it takes to compensate and have the goods to execute it very well. Not to say mekari is Joe Thomas but you get the point.
I maintain that the mekari lacking length becoming a problem thing was speculated by Spencer Schulz in the offseason and it’s been parroted ever since
I mean concerns about his length at tackle aren’t something from just this offseason - there’s a reason he was moved from tackle to IOL
and you see it turn up on tape sometimes where some guys are able to long-arm and move him because of that length
it’s not the fatal flaw it could have been because of how good mekari’s been with his hand placement and punch and timing but it’s still an issue that limits him in some ways and especially in the sense that it limits his margin for error and ability to recover if he doesn’t get it close to perfect straight away
luckily mekari’s a technician but he doesn’t have the length (or athleticism) to be anything less than near-perfect
