...Maybe.
I am fired up about him, but concerned about his ankles.
If you didn't expect him to show good foot speed, then you weren't paying any attention.
I came away from watching the combine telling everyone he has the fastest feet of any of the linemen in this draft.
I had already been impressed by his quick feet after watching him in a couple of games and seeing other highlights leading up to the combines.
Mike Mayock used the perfect description.
Albert has dancer's feet.
...how can you judge him...he hasn't played a snap? :sign0153:
i expect b.albert 2 do good by da time da season startz...i just wish we still had will shields and willie roaf, lol...but im sure our o-line will b better den last yearz, n LJ's numbers will b higher
I think he will wind-up as a pretty good OG.
That's where run-blocking studs who aren't so great at open-field p***-blocking go in the NFL.
And if they were already put there in college, that tells me not to expect much in the way of p***-protection.
Albert was going to be moved to LT after Marcus McNeill was drafted, but injuries along the O-Line pushed Albert back inside becasue they didn't feel they had a quality replacement at LG and were confident in Monroe's ability to play at LT.
When Monroe proved capable and the O-Line developed chemistry, they decided it was best to leave things as they were.
None of us have any idea until he plays. Missing the entire pre-season is not gonne help, His first NFL action is gonna be against Richard Seymour and Adelius Thomas in the patriots 3-4 scheme. It probably wont be very pretty. Judging by what I have seen from him in college, I think that he will be good. He has everything he needs to be a great tackle. But hes playing maybe the hardest position in pro football, so we have to give him time.
