IMO he's probably working his ass off but he's still struggling with the techniques. He is improving slightly. If he keeps it up he might be a solid LT someday. I'd like to think all at once the light is gonna come on and he's gonna be the player we want him to be. I'd like to think that but I'm struggling with that technique.

Phil, no one wants to see Albert succeed more than me.

I have been on his bandwagon as a LT on this forum, or hell, anywhere, longer than anyone.

I was the first one anywhere, on here, the media, anywhere, that suggested he had the athletic ability to play LT.

If there's one guy who I want to succeed, it's Albert.

But I'm not going to close my eyes to the fact that he has not progressed from the end of last season.

That either suggests that he didn't work on improving his technique, or that he simply is not getting it.

I'd actually rather the former than the latter.
