Quote:I think this is what most here are hoping to hear. He's gotten a bad rap for his play to date, and rightfully so. But, there's very little context applied by a certain sect of this board when they pan his play so far. Some have almost declared him a bust.


Last year was basically his rookie season, and he was coming off an injury that prevented him from being able to fully participate in the off season conditioning program, so he wasn't able to bulk up and get stronger as a result. He has that chance this year, and hopefully by doing so, it will help to make him a more effective LT.


I think that the jury is clearly still out on this guy because he just hasn't had the opportunity to develop in the normal manner. We'll know what we've got this year.
