I think that's a heck of a lot closer to an ordinary rookie OT learning curve than we want to acknowledge, especially when he was just being left out there on his own. The Madden sliders were set to All Madden for the kid and he just wasn't ready for it.
And man, why should we have expected him to be?
Coaching did him dirty this year, IMO.

Coaching did fail him no doubt. And the pressure of the threepeat forced him out of the lineup I fear.
I guess we will see based on their next moves. I just think 2021 taught us to expect them to overcorrect at OL.
