He has poor footwork, slow react times, bad balance and struggles to lock onto a defender. He lunges at guys versus engages them. The guy is simply not good and doesn't possess the skills to be a starting left tackle in the NFL. I do think he could be a very good guard though, especially in this system and hope that the team doesn't waste that opportunity by continuing to parade him out there at the LT position where he isn't effective.
I don't think any of that is an embellishment.

He struggles with consistency in his technique, and that has been a problem.
But when he does things well, he can and has locked down his opponent.
He does a good job as a run blocker, and gets to the second level, something you constantly say that he hasn't done.
He hasn't progressed.
But at worst, he's adequate until someone is brought in to replace him.
