I thought the assessment was a little harsh -- his protection was terrible and he often had no open targets. But his mechanics were certainly poor.

The more concerning takeaway was Frazier getting beat by speed rushes constantly. It's great he's added muscle, but if he doesn't have the feet to stay with a good speed rush he's not going to be a good left tackle, and strength can't do much to help that. This was from the bowl game -- how did he grade out in other games?

- Bryce looked worse in the bowl game than he had all season. - By GritsGoBlue August 16, 2026 at 07:29:10 PM
- lol, "is he a bust" after one season at age 18* - By Daytripper August 16, 2026 at 02:25:19 PM
- While this won't entirely mitigate an LT's deficiency in neutralizing speed rushes, perhaps our new OC will have some schemes to slow or even exploit them.** - By jBdub August 16, 2026 at 02:08:19 PM
  - New OC, new OL coach, and a healthy five star to push our returning starter LT - By michjd August 16, 2026 at 03:15:16 PM
- hopefully, its. Babaloa instead of Frasier at Left tackle nm - By sim August 16, 2026 at 01:26:11 PM
- He’s supposedly been working on footwork with a private QB coach and has improved. We will soon see if true. * - By jhamm August 16, 2026 at 01:01:24 PM
  - My impression is that his mechanics deteriorated quite a bit over the course of the season, which would fit with the poor protection factor* - By Paul August 16, 2026 at 01:55:12 PM
    - I had the same impression, he lost discipline and focus as the season went on and he was being asked to do too much* - By Arctic August 16, 2026 at 02:33:05 PM
  - I’m in the camp that pressure sped him up wrecking his mechanics. Coaching was not able to keep up. Another year of that can wreck a guy, but he is far more likely to recover and improve. Wild improvement to greatness is on the table. * - By plug August 16, 2026 at 01:26:33 PM
  - It's Jordan Palmer, who has also worked with Dante Moore, Joe Burrow along with other QBs - By el fuego August 16, 2026 at 01:19:06 PM
