Sometimes.
A lot of the time his lack of footwork, particularly the lack of a functional kick-step, doesn't allow him to recover. He's not very good against wide speed rushers and he is pretty bad most of the time once he gets to the second level - just has a real hard time finding his man and holding the block.
Honestly, the team would be much better off by putting him inside right now, getting Fisher over to the LT position and putting Stephenson in at RT which would basically give the two future bookends immediate experience and cohesiveness with the line as it stands.
Replacing a LG in 2014 is a much easier task than having Fisher try to learn the NFL speed at RT then shift him back over to the left side in 2014.
It should be this in 2013:
LT: Fisher
LG: Albert
C: Hudson
RG: Schwartz/Asamoah
RT: Stephenson
Then you can have either Allen or Reynolds (who I've always said would be a pretty damn good NFL LG) take the LG spot in 2014.
