With the dust having settled, Corey Bullock could very well be our best interior reserve lineman. Throughout the three games, I thought he was stout as a pass protector and rarely succumbed to power. In the running game, he was a super effective combo blocker, with the ability to close the distance to the linebacker without overrunning the angle. He was a solid puller, but that's where he could use a little polish. There were times when he'd be beaten to the spot by his RB, effectively negating the point of his presence. There were also plays wherein he'd get into position, latch onto the target and perhaps let them go a shade too early. In most cases, they wouldn't be the first involved on the ball carrier, so this could be nit picking. Per PFF, both him and Andrew Vorhees finished with an 88.7 graded on zone blocked runs. Personally, I consider switching from Guard to Center one of the most overlooked positional changes in its difficulty. I'm hoping Vorhees' stellar preseason continues into becoming our LG of the future. But if Bullock ever needs his number called elsewhere, I believe he could be a solid starter.
