I agree with all but the bolded part. He came in at weight and passed the physical test and i've read no news of his commitment being questioned.
So what information are you forming this opinion on?

I'm just trying to figure out why people are saying he had such a bad game or that he hasn't improved or that he's having such a bad preseason that he shouldn't even be starting anymore.

IMO, they still need to do this. Albert simply as not progressed at LT to be considered a solid future option.

Haley and Bill Muir (who I ****ING HATE) ****ed him up. The ENTIRE offensive line, despite their age, has taken a MAJOR step backwards since his hiring. I think he ****ing blows and should be fired ASAP.

Not only have people like Albert, Richardson and Brown not progressed, Asamoah, who was rated very highly hasn't done ****ing DICK.

Ryan Lilja, a left guard that was converted to right guard, has absolutely been the class of the 2010 preaseason, probably because he's been around long enough and is smart enough to avoid Muir's bullshit advice.

I don't have any idea what Pioli is seeing in these offensive and defensive lineman but whatever it is, sucks ****ing ass.

Look what the Bucs fan on here said when we hired Muir.

I really think sometimes people bitch for the sake of bitching.

Blame the front office for not bringing great talent to the offensive line. But in terms of the coaching, Albert has most definitely progressed under Muir's watch and the run blocking has improved by leaps and bounds. And the pass protection went from swinging gate to giving Cassel more than enough time to make plays.

I don't blame Muir one bit for working with average talent (mostly) and for being asked to protect the QB who makes his offensive line significantly worse by poor decision making.

I don't agree with this. If he has any upside at LT, you absolutely stick with him. Of course he's progressed. In his rookie season, he went from zero left tackle experience to being a decent starter. In his second season, he learned a totally different blocking scheme, was forced to lose weight and play with totally different technique, and he went from being a swinging gate to a good run blocker and at least holding some of his own on pass protections.

The guy has absolutely progressed. And while he hasn't shown a ton of improvement from the end of last season, he definitely has not regressed. He's a solid but unspectacular LT for now and he still has significant upside. I absolutely do not want to see him at Guard until we're absolutely convinced he's not a LT of the future.

Dude, read this thread.

You said he had his worst game by opinion, even though there's a detailed play-by-play breakdown that says he did just fine.

Dane and a few others have said they need to give up on the Albert project and go with a guy like Barry Richardson.

There are a bunch of people who have said he has not improved or shown progress.
