As predicted, left tackle Olu Fashanu went in the top half of round on to the New York Jets, while defensive end Chop Robinson found his new home with the Miami Dolphins. On today’s BWI Live Show, Penn State film analyst Thomas Frank Carr discusses what each player brings to their new teams and how they fit in.

Here’s what he had to say about Fashanu’s fit with the Jets.Jets head coach Robert Saleh is the former defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers and brought a similar offensive system to New York. The team relies heavily on the popular outside zone running scheme in the NFL, which Penn State used last season under former OC Mike Yurcich. Not every zone scheme is run the same way, but most rely on athletic offensive linemen working in tandem to steal gaps from the defense in a lateral fashion. Fashanu’s athleticism and movement skills make him a great fit for this scheme, allowing him to play with speed and burst off the football. But Fashanu’s real value is as a pass protector. Find out what he is good at and how he can help unlock a new level of offense for the Jets.Chop Robinson can flourish in MiamiTypically, defnses like this ask its edge defenders to play upfield and attack the run with speed, rather than control of a gap. While Robinson isn’t an aggressive run defender from a contact standpoint, he’s incredibly effective at getting upfield and shedding blocks in space to create negative plays and bubble runs to his side. In all situations, his athleteicism has a chance to shine. Find out how the Dolphin’s organizational philosophy also should help Robinson become the best version of himself.#PennState #NittanyLionsJOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters: https://bluewhiteonline.comDownload our podcasts: https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/LRL3155877513?selected=DSVV2664982394Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3Sound effects obtained from https://www.zapsplat.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
