Bowanko needs to add a little bulk- very similar to Luke Joeckel - super athletic, a great feat, but plays like a total (insert emasculating term of choice). Joeckel always played kinda scared, like he actually couldn't engage because he was kind of scared of contact. You can't be a successful OLineman if you are going to play passively and scared. Bowanko is fortunately not as bad a LJ though. He has the arm length and height and shoulder frame you want - but he's too skinny.

Yeah. He needs to bulk up and play more decisively when facing the bigger DTs. 

Remember he was drafted to be an athletic C in a zone blocking scheme.  Right now he's a bit of a square peg in a round hole at guard or center for this team. 

It's likely that they've tried to bulk him up a bit, but two long term injury re-habs have nixed that plan.
