Those stats are no surprise for me and I figured his snap count was low, for any RS Frosh OL to even see the field shows to me they saw a little promise in him. I don't expect him to start, possibly not even be a backup. I think part of the reason for all these transfers is for competition for every position on the depth chart, including backups. The 2 deep on our team was just horrible last year in general.He was on the field during 7 games, but only 4 of those were at OL in a traditional sense & PFF only has him playing 36 OL snaps (21 a LT & 15 at RT).
The other 3 games were only on special teams as a member of the line for the FG unit (total of 21 snaps over the season).
I said during last year as the losses piled up, in hindsight it was a warning sign some of our OL took their time to make a decision to return. Should have sent them packing the second they said, I need to think it over.
In the end, I believe they mostly came back because they could make more playing than what their first job would pay, their OL coach was over loyal to them and they did not have to worry about competition, they put off adulthood on a fun college campus for anther year, and they were happy just making the title game the previous year and being a favorite for the upcoming season.
We need to make it hard to make the 2 deep. Any player not capable or does not project to the 2 deep should be cut at the first opportunity.
