Someone doesn't understand that college skill-sets and pro level skill-sets aren't necessarily the same. Every scout, writer, draftnik, talking head - all said that Albert's best position in the pros would be at LT. Which is why he was taken 15th overall. Show me the last guy that was drafted 15th or higher to specifically play guard. |

You do know that Albert was going to start over future first round pick Monroe right? You do know the only reason he didn't start at LT as a rookie is because future first round pick Ferguson was there and they wanted the best players on the field right? You do know Albert stayed at LG only because of an injury of who was going to start at LG so they left Albert there because he already had starting experience there and was more versatile than Monroe. Do you remember this year when Wade was starting at LT then there was another injury and they moved Wade to that spot and then Richardson stepped in at LT? Of course you don't because you don't watch football but its the same story there.

And reading is fundamental. Who's been drafted 15th or higher SPECIFICALLY TO PLAY GUARD? Not "played guard in college and moved to tackle." Drafted to play guard in the NFL. I'll wait. |

Oh, I don't know.
Maybe because people want to slide him in to play....guard? He wasn't drafted to play guard, everyone thinks his skill-set best suits the LT position, and he was drafted as such. Unfortunately, FindTheOkung either doesn't understand, or wants to even try to understand that you don't give up on a 2nd year player that has had a bad half-season -period - much less for a guy that honestly is pretty much a spitting image of Albert, with with slower feet. |

And who other than FindTheOkung thinks the organization thinks he doesn't fit? Are you telling me that Todd Haley made the kid lose 30 pounds to play LT, and is going to ask him to gain that weight back to try to play inside? |
