**** that.
Powe will be a good player. Its really unfair to talk about dumping him before his second year when his first was cut back because of the lockout and the fact that we had two vet NTs out there that played well all year.
He plays one of the positions that fans and coaches need to display patience with.
Quarterback
Corner
DL
Wideout
It's not like the guy is a running back/linebacker that typically steps right into the action and plays at a high level...he plays a position that requires not only a big jump in physical competition, but also in the mental part of the game.
Blocking schemes in the NFL are far more advanced than that in the SEC.
If you don't understand how the center and guards are trying to handle you and make adjustments to better protect your gaps, you end up getting blown off the ball with consistency and your linebackers and secondary suffer for it because generally those guys key off the nose.
