Look, Heyer got pushed around badly against Tennessee, and we almost lost our season because he got blown up vs. Pitt. He may be a good project, but bottom line, the guy was undrafted for a reason. I can understand wanting to get him reps in the preseason to groom him, but do it with the second team for God's sake. Starting an undrafted rookie with "lower body strength" issues to protect our season's blindside is a BAD idea. I see no reason why Fabini or another non-rookie couldn't start in Samuels place.

On the flip-side, if Heyer really is our 3rd best option at tackle, then we could be in big trouble.
