One pretty terrible 2009 season shouldn't mean shit to a tackle if he's got the tools, the smarts, and the opportunity. There's no other position quite like offensive line in the NFL where determination fused with natural talent can win the day.
The guy's an above average LT. He's a kind of jack of all trades master of none, except he does a pretty good job at all the duties you want out of a starting LT.
Sac and his other haters really need to admit it- we don't need an elite LT. "Pretty good" will do just fine. Put a real QB behind this offensive line and watch defenses get raped.

In his rookie year, Albert was allowed by Herman ****ing Edwards and staff to put on weight, wasn't taught proper technique.
They essentially asked him to lean on his man, and it worked pretty well against average RDE, but was a problem against a couple of the better ones.
In his second season, Todd Haley and staff had Albert take that weight off and began the process of teaching him real tehnique, think he had the potential to be very good when combining technique with his natural quickness, quickness which was the reason he was drafted to play LT.
He struggled mightlily that second season, but took a big step forward last year.
This year, we should see him start to reach his ceiling.
He hasn't yet begun to touch it.
