Erving's not great, but could he at least have been a "quality backup" here? Is he not at least as good as Josh Wells or Patrick Omameh or Tyler Shatley?
He's definitely not as good as Omameh against a bull rush. He ends up on his backside quite frequently.
I honestly think a fifth was too much for him.
And I say this after painfully watching Omameh struggle this preseason.
I've seen this too, and it's uncanny the way he gets overpowered like that.
Is it a matter of a lack of strength and power, does he have poor leverage, or are his feet problematic?
How did he get drafted in the first round if these things were issues?
