Brandon Albert - Yea or Nay???

[jakesmith]

Well we have had in depth conversations (with a few insults and rants thrown in for good flavor) about Albert. The first week of Training camp is about over. What say you???


Myself, I'm hopeful. From all reports Albert is showing a lot more foot speed than expected. There will obviously be some learning curve ahead, but hopefully he will do ok.

I'm pretty hyped about the guy myself.

[royalswin100games]

I'm rooting for him. We will see.

[Three7s]

Just don't expect him to be Willie Roaf right off the bat. I'm confident in his ability right off with the running game, but I still question his pass protection, and will for some time.

[doomsday]

I think he will do well. He has the tools, the teachers. Just needs seasoning in my opinion. Doesn't hurt that Waters is there either. :)

[Albert Phan]

I think its hard to complain with how Branden has performed thus far. I agree with Three7s that the pass protection is going to take some time, but wait until you see him bulldoze opposing DEs once they're playing for real. The man is a steam roller, plain and simple, and LJ is going to be running left quite a bit this year.

[royalswin100games]

Welcome Phan. Like the optimism. Hope you're right.

what is there to discuss. He has practiced for one week. Anyone saying Neh is just a hater wishing for the worste.

Careful, 31 may get critical on ya.

True, but there were some sceptics around here just after the draft. Just wondering if they still have the same opinion.

Also, true about the Pass protection. However, I wonder if that really matters. From what I understand the Cheifs are going to try to ram the ball down the throats of the opposing team. (Of course we've heard this before....)
