He's serviceable no doubt.

I haven't really been paying attention to him this year. I've been focusing on our center and RT. I don't know if Payton is still giving him help with chips or not. I've got to say he's growing on me.

You mean you didn't see him whiff on 4 out of 5 blocks on the screen to his side of the field? This guy is ridiculously bad. I can't even believe they wrote this article on him. He's a veritable turnstile.

I don't know about the screens but h isn't nearly as bad as you make him out to be.

That's the idea behind a screen. Let your guy come through the line and over pursue and dump the ball off over his head and let the RB do his thing while you take on the second level. But this is also a timing play because if you get to far ahead of the play you get flagged for illegal man downfield. He just needs to work a little bit better on his release timing. I think he is playing much better than what Jamhead Brown was playing, less penalties for sure.
