I taped games and studied his play. He's very slow footed, and doesn't seen to have a clue about the blocking concepts that that Rams were using. He's 320 pounds, a lot of which is bad weight. He isn't very powerful when he is in there. I don't think he's the answer, I think he's another hole we need to fill, even if it's just a backup role.
Now, that being said, the coaches obviously like him. I have the benefit of only watching tape, they have the benefit of knowing the kid, and understanding if his mistakes are fixable one's. I had some hopes for him last season...before I saw him play.
