Well Albert appears to be in the process of normalizing. I think next year he'll be really good. He'll have a year of good technique work under his belt and he'll actually be stronger than he was this year.

The thing is, it doesn't appear to be all strength issues. He is getting pushed back into Cassel a bit to easily... as is Waters from the left side protection... which I can see being affected by the weight loss issue. What concerns me more is the quickness things. Changes of direction by the DE's seemed to cause him fits. And he was beat around the edge on a couple of occasions too. I know that happens to all LT's at some point, but with the weight loss, I would have thought that would have been less of an issue than the bull rushes. Is that wrong thinking? Or do both things go hand-in-hand with a weight loss/technique adjustment period.
