He ended up having a very solid last year, played very well and we were very pleased. He just seemed to be developing week-by-week until he hurt his thumb. He was essentially playing with less than two hands. |
He's on track and I'm not overly concerned about it. He's a rock-solid component of what we're trying to do with a young offensive line. |
There's a certain demand and the weight helps. We aren't very big. Elliot (Vallejo, a 6-9, 295-pound tackle) is a decent sized guy, but he's pretty slender for what we'll see even at Toomey Field. You need a certain amount of girth. And it's a physical game. |
We are relying on Elliot and Kyle a lot. It's as hard a working group as I've had man-for-man. I think there's a lot of desire, but we've got our hands full. |
