The guy was projected to play left tackle because he has outstanding footwork. And I've seen nothing that suggests otherwise. No idea if he'll continue to grow into his position, but the important part isn't how he started the season. It was how he continued to improve throughout the season.

His footwork is atrocious. His kick step is horrible. Seriously. He reaches and tries to maul versus work guys out and up. He's a guard, and has never shown anything other than guard skills at the tackle position.

And he didn't improve. The Buffalo game was perhaps his worst showing of the entire season. And Buffalo sucks. Getting owned by the Buffalo defensive line isn't improving, it's digressing.
