Danno

Its his 1st freaking year
He player LT all his life
He was late getting into camp per NFL rules
Was asked to play RT (completely different footwork)

Give the guy a break.

Its like saying we're gonna lose a game because our opening KO went out of bounds.

Again, I know he was a rookie. Even rookies (when they are drafted that high) should be expected to show more potential than others. Nothing I saw impressed me. If we're arguing whether he was a good choice or not (which we are) then he hasn't done anything to suggest he was a good pick at this point, in my opinion. No offense to you, but I just don't buy the excuse of playing RT instead of LT. RT is less demanding. If we're nit picking about footwork, then he has no business being in this league. That's just not a good enough reason. I hope he comes around, but my opinion of him before he played a down with the Saints was that he was too soft for this level.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
