I admit Upshaw is before my time. I didn’t grow up watching him so I had little knowledge of who this guy was.
so glad I bit and replaced 95 long with him.
run game has been revitalized. Upshaw is a bit smaller than other guards I’ve played with. The bigs weren’t as big back then. But he’s pretty quick and very smart. And I think his small size allows him to sneak into some down field blocking situations.
I run wc and typically run with a pulling guard to the right. Saw a huge improvement since adding Upshaw. Just ripped off a 45 and 70 us run against a 94 ovr Defense in lvl. That hasn’t been viable for a while for me.
Upshaw leads the runner well and his imb and rbk are really high at 97 (99 with the pwr boost). He flattened a few guys and on a long run was able to block until the runner passed him and then immediately shed his man and ran down field for the next block. very impressed.
