Um....both?
Reiter is playing better. I won't say he's playing truly well, but he's leveled out in pass-pro to where he's solid and oftentimes an asset. He's routinely a liability in the run game, but he's acceptable in pass pro. He played probably is best game of the season against the Texans and that's likely a combination of both things. A) He's playing better (and yes, Wiz is probably helpful there) and B) Houston's front is pretty lousy.
Jurrell Casey will be a massive test for him. He can go a LONG way towards keeping himself in the starters conversation next season on Sunday.

No, he is not a 'good' lineman. He's not necessarily as awful as he's looked at several points throughout the season, but he isn't good. By definition, a guy who's prone to getting obliterated as often as he is cannot be 'good'. Consistency is a skill that matters a lot, especially for interior linemen. Reiter generally lacks it.
