I am father to two young men.
Which means that, according to how biology works, they were once teenage boys.
It was during that time in my life I watched them earn their PhDs in Blowing Off Responsibilities.
The one who’s second among all linemen in snaps.
This guy:
The person I’m not blaming for Michael Jordan’s failure is Michael Jordan.
This past year, the most glaring need was tackle.
Highly regarded tackles were available in the draft.
… Dollar General off-brand tackles for the franchise on a budget.
Does anyone else remember the Calvin Anderson era?
You don’t have to get a tackle with the No.
But it can’t be neglected another season.
At the very least, we need next Matt Light or Sebastian Vollmer Round 2 home run.
To do anything less would be dereliction of duty.
No need to mince words here.
And four months since he more or less ignored the position in the draft.
(Pundits consider Caeden Wallace more of an OG/OT ‘tweener.)
Strap in and prepare yourself to be watching them all season long struggle to find a combination that works.
Hint: This wasn’t it.
2 priority for this franchise after quarterback.
And while I’m a total believer that they’ve found the solution to the No.
This I tell you brother, it’s possible for you to’t have one without the other.
He’s played 61 total snaps, bringing his 4-year career total to 772.
Which is slightly more than Joe Thuney and way less than Shaq Mason have… on the season.
But he knew the assignment when he took the job, and elected to blow it off.
Or at the very least, not give it nearly the care and attention it deserved.
And all the other failures of a 3-9 team are a direct result of that neglect.
If I can offer some hope, let me go back to the way I opened this discussion.
I wish they’d done it on my watch, but it worked out eventually.
