Saturday Night Standouts: O-linemen from the Super Football Conf.

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Offensive line play is perhaps the most important part of the game. If you have an effective o-line, big plays happen at nauseam; however, if your o-line fails to get their job done, you are likely not going to be able to move the ball. Below are a handful of offensive line standouts who play in North Jersey's Super Football Conference. These linemen make certain that they have their offenses come out on top.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["377173"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Ramsey High School has a mammoth battering ram that they like to run behind on their 0-line. At 6'5u0022 295lbs, [player_tooltip player_id='377173' first='Logan' last='Bahn'] is as big, strong, and sturdy as they come. Also a basketball player, he contributed on defense with 22 tackles, 7 for a loss, and 2 sacks.rnrnBahn has the ability to single-handedly collapse an entire side of the defensive line by himself. When he gets support from his adjacent guard, down-linemen either go straight back or straight on their backs. He is a solid puller in terms of getting to the point of attack; he delivers a jolt of force when kicking out. I did not notice any false steps taken by Bahn either. Although he demolishes down-linemen on his double teams, in later clips we start to see Bahn keep his head up and pick up scraping LBs - this is a big plus. If I am coaching Bahn I would encourage him to find more work once he neutralizes his assignment. College coaches would also probably want to see more clips of him in pass protection as well.rnrnBahn is an under-the-radar 2024 prospect with the size and potential to go Division I. His senior season, and subsequent recruiting, are something we ought to stay in tune with.rnrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-643b4f3fc4424"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/10163714/63090297f5610109c0428065' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-643b4f3fc44ed"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BahnLogan","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BahnLogan </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["775002"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"The Verona Hillbillies are historically a really solid and strong program. Their players are well coached and technically sound. The 5'10u0022 205lb OG/DT [player_tooltip player_id='775002' first='Shane' last='Costigan'] is a quintessential type of player Verona produces. As a junior, Costigan make 61 tackles, 1 sack, and 4 hurries. After watching his film, I would not be surprised if he had near a dozen tackles for loss.rnrnWe will start defensively. Costigan is quick off the snap of the ball and fights pressure. Right there, he is an automatic winner at DT. His quickness helps him get into the backfield and fighting pressure never takes him out of position. Costigan has been asked to play edge rusher at times too. When taking on a double team, he does a great job knifing through or swimming through to get one-on-one with an o-lineman and make a play. Costigan also does a great job of getting hands on, straining, and then separating from defenders. When tacking, Costigan should remember to keep his feet buzzing through contact for immediate stops. Offensively we see that Costigan gets to the second level very easily, and then sticks to LBs like glue. He has the Hillbilly grittiness where he wants to finish every block. I mentioned being technically sound before for a reason: Costigan controls the chest plate of is assignment and keeps a nice base when drive blocking. Quick feet allows him to win position form the snap of the ball. When asked to pull, Costigan keeps his eyes inside and will pick up the first immediate threat. One area for Costigan to be cognizant of is in pass protection, he should keep his hands close to him until a defender approaches, punch, then recoil.rnrnI love Costigan's game. He does so many things well and is a product of strong coaching and discipline. He is a blue-collar prospect that is certain to make a college coach somewhere look like a genius one day.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-643b4f3fc469f"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15158180/63b84e452ab127091c73b43f' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-643b4f3fc46f1"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ShaneCostigan1","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/ShaneCostigan1 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["774906"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='774906' first='Jack' last='Austin'] of the Vernon Vikings is something of a kick-out specialists. At 6 foot 225lbs, he made 45 tackles (4 for a loss), 5 sacks, and 1 FR last fall.rnrnAustin puts everything he has into his kick-out blocks. It starts with his feet as he keeps them running through contact. His energy and force then transfers to his upper body as he looks to make the highlight kick-out every time out. On his drive block he gets his hands on the defender's chest and keeps a solid base. Austin can also get to the second level easily. From his DT spot, he is quick to shed blockers in pursuit of the ball. He is very quick and a big asset when running line stunts. Austin recognizes blocks and strings reach blocks along. I would love to see clips of Austin double-teaming on offense, as well as how he is in pass protection, to get a full picture of his offensive game.rnrnHow will the Vikings fair this year?

Biello, also a lacrosse player, measures 5'10u0022 200lbs. He made 49 tackles (4 for a loss), 2 sacks, and 2 QB hurries.rnrnBiello sure runs like a skill player. He can get to the defense's second level no problem. He plays low and has bend for an O-lineman as well. Defensively, he takes the lead in ensuring his teammates are lined up and in the correct spots. Biello takes sufficient pass drops and makes the correct read when stuffing the run, filling the hole quickly. For the bits of flashes we have seen, we really need more football clips from Biello to get a good sense of what else he brings to the table.rnrnWith so much talent returning, I fully expect the Westwood Cardinals to be atop the standings, jockeying for a top seed in the playoffs this fall.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/profile/16432968/Luke-Biello/highlightsu0022u003eHudlu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-643b4f3fc48ea"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["774907"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"The Pascack Hills Broncos finished 8-1 as their offense galloped behind o-lineman [player_tooltip player_id='774907' first='Devon' last='Buonanno'].
