Yep. This feels to me like them wanting to play the guy they paid. Finding him a role is a priority for them which to some extent I get where they're coming from.
I think everyone's been awfully respectful of what we assumed were mistakes in comprehension but if they keep happening I don't see how you can't expect us to just say you're lying.
Maybe the idea is to show the league he’s physically capable of playing.. in case someone gets desperate for LT help and the could possibly get some draft compensation.
If his salary wasn’t as such guaranteed this would be a non issue and they wouldn’t be forcing this. Their mistake.
I suspect Big Rob tends to play through his injuries too. He's had some seasons where his ability to move has been terrible at times.
Hats off to the entire O-line for this game, but especially Noteboom. Wouldn't have believed it before the game but he proved a few of us wrong.
I been saying it, but Noteboom can hold up in pass pro. It’s the run game where he lacks.
I’ll eat crow on Tutu, but I’m not so quick to with Joe. I need to watch the game again and focus on the Oline, but I saw him whiffing on initial blocks and he struggled with DTs changing directions. I don’t know if he got better as time went on but my initial impression was not good. He looked lost and confused. Maybe it’s because it was his first time playing right guard with little to no practice in camp.
I am right there with you! I never would have believed it either but Noteboom was solid! Exited to see how the team does vs. San Fran which will be a much tougher test.
I dunno. Noteboom was not overly noticeable to me today. Which is a huge improvement from his past performances at guard. And even at LT for much of last year, lest we forget the abuse he suffered on opening night at the hands of Von Miller. I was expecting a disaster.
This, along with his weaker run blocking was why I had serious doubts about the move.
