Ugoh’s move has Brett Mock feeling good
Even the photo above shows him with his shoulders low, legs driving, sealing the defender away from his side of the field. These strengths and techniques should translate well to Ugoh playing “in a box” with offensive linemen to either side of him, with less focus on lateral mobility. His in-line speed and athleticism should also serve him well as a pulling guard.
Imagine Ugoh and Johnson pulling on a stretch play to the left side of the field. Johnson looked good when he was asked to block on runs to the outside, helping the Colts average 5.4 yards a carry around the left end, the best per carry statistic the team generated in 2009. With Ugoh pulling, using his speed, getting outside of Johnson to create a cutback lane for Addai, Brown, or Hart it could bring back the lethality of the Colts stretch run and re-establish the Colts play-action as a legitimate threat.
