I had hopes for this guy based on how athletic he looked in preseason, but man that's some of the absolute worst tape I've ever seen on a professional. It's bad enough that he looks inept, what really bothers me is it doesn't look like he cares a whole lot. I'm not writing him off at his age, but he needs to improve by light years to get back out on the field.

Obviously BYU isn't the Chiefs, but could the demands on the OL be THAT much more varied? Sure he's going against better competition, but not knowing what he's supposed to be doing doesn't really make sense unless the guy has a brain tumor or something.

Right, but maybe they need time to develop if they are dumb.

Also in college a player can get by on athleticism while in the NFL that isn’t always the case as they are all athletic. Technique more often than not wins out and a lot of what he’s seeing is stuff he might not have seen in college. The margin for error is much smaller in the NFL. Usually the speed of the game is much different vs college and for someone who’s raw, he can’t just get away with pure athleticism. He has to be able to think and react much faster and when he’s not it looks like he’s lost. Now that also could crush his confidence making a bad situation worse. He just needs to stay off the field for the rest of the season and work on his technique while letting the game slow down for him. |

Wouldn’t it be better to get a veteran LT such as Donovan Smith or David Bakhtiari signed now to get them up to speed and in game shape so they are ready if needed for the stretch run?
It’s not a long shot possibility that Wanya Morris might not be available down the stretch of the season given his knee issue. |

I just keep hoping that he'll develop and eventually figure it out. He's got the size and the athleticism, seems like he just needs to work on his technique. So just gotta keep coaching him up and let him develop. With a little time, hopefully he does become that premier LT we were all hoping for when we drafted him.
And if not, then we trade him to NYJ for two 1sts. Problem solved.

All I can think is that there is a reason that Brett took a look and didn’t pull the trigger. It wouldn’t be hard to have been an upgrade. They must clearly not be. |

Seems so, they were pretty quick picking up JuJu, Kareem, and even Mecole last year when injuries or needs arose.
