The pre-draft videos of him blocking in space reminded most people of Willie Roaf.

Except Sac, who was probably pissed we didn't move up to draft Jake Long at the time.

Leonard Davis is better then Albert.

And add to it that he played next to D'Brickashaw Ferguson and Eugene Monroe at the college level in the ACC. He's the offensive equivalent of Ryan Sims. He was the guy playing next to "THE" guy. It was a blown pick.

The guy looks like a lamed cow out there on the field. He's consistently off balance, lunges rather than engages defenders and ends up floundering on the grass as a result. Absolutely horrible.

The dude is the best run block on our offense, without question. He constantly takes two guys out on the same play when we run off tackle.

He struggles against top-end pass rushers, but he improved in that regard compared to last year.

The dude's arrow is pointing up. He is not Ryan Sims.

You are absurd sometimes.

Agreed with the inability to run on short yardage. Just my thoughts.

1st - Our power back in Thomas Jones is well beyond his better years. Get a young bigger back, and the problem would be largely solved.

2nd - I wonder if we will always have this problem. Todd & Scott apparently like lean players and this drives me crazy sometimes.

Passed on Cody twice last year. I'm sure weight was an issue. But before I go off on a tangent there, look at our O-line. Where's the beef?

LT Albert - 6'5 316 (convinced Branden to slim down)
LG Waters - 6'3 320
C Wiegmann - 6'2 285 (who we know is weak at the point of attack)
RG Lilja - 6'2 290
RT Richardson - 6'6 319 (used to weigh much more than this in college) again asked to slim down)

Now lets compare to Pittsburgh. A team that just ran all over the Jets.

LT - 318 lbs
LG - 344 lbs
C - 304
RG - 325 lbs
RT - 338 lbs

Pretty big difference. Just sayin. Something to think about.

Oh yes before I forget. Jon Asamoah who will end up replacing Waters someday. 6'4 305. Getting even smaller.
