I think Anton is by far their best Olineman.

I also agree with this. Anton is young, physical and well balanced. He'll probably be our LT in 2025.

He’s a gem, no doubt. But is he being as challenged on the right side as much as the left side?

Think he had Chris Jones, Myles Garrett and T.J Watt work him last year. He held up decently. Put it to you this way. Out of this starting line-up? Anton is the LEAST of my concerns.

Yeah I gave him this year's camp to come in stronger, but I was over him as soon as it was reported he was struggling with the sled at the beginning of camp.  Get him out of here and away from my quarterback.  I was embarrassed for him watching him get consistently instantly pushed a couple of yards into the backfield at the snap by any sort of bull rush last year.

He just doesn't have it. I hate to say it, but, it's glaringly obvious that he doesn't have it. Whether it's due to strength, bad reads or poor technique. He [BLEEP] the bed entirely too much for a 5th year senior out of the SEC when he left Kentucky. It's truly a shame, that, they didn't invest another draft pick on a Center to develop this year or last year when they had the chance. 

flsprtsgod already cited it here or somewhere earlier, it's a shame they didn't spring the money for Connor Wiliams as another insurance policy. As BAD as they were at Center last year? They should have doubled down with Morse and another decent veteran like Williams. They opted to draft Jordan Jefferson in RD4 instead of Tanor Bortolini or Sedrick Van Pran as well. That could prove to be costly down the stretch.
