Not having a preseason and the limited number of full contact practices probably hurt his chances of being discovered as a starter... I think he definitely proved he can play.. [Reply]
He'd better be in there at LG until he shows he can't hack it. Because nobody we've had at LG has had a game like that in years. He was outstanding against Buffalo. Small sample size, yeah, ok-but that spot has sucked balls for several seasons now and nobody has looked that good. [Reply]
I say offensive lineman blocking until the whistle. I shock them finish a guy then go help another guy. It was shocking to see, awesome, but shocking.
Our Oline blocking normally seems so lazy. It didn't against Buffalo.
If this is the new norm then keep starting the backups. Fuck it.
The book on Allegretti coming out of college was that he played with a bit of a mean streak. Wouldn't be at all disappointed if that has started to rub off on the rest of them.
