I'm cautiously optimistic. I'm cautious because I have seen us fall in love with many UFAs simply because they show some ability (e.g., Garnell Wilds). I'm also cautious because we've seen him play in just two preseason games, he's had help from the TEs and backs, and we've still had trouble opening up lanes and have trouble in pass protection on the left side of the line.

I'm optimistic, however, because it is unusual to see a UFA rookie start at any position, let alone the most important one on the line. I'm also optimistic because I trust in Buges and doubt he would stick a UFA rookie at LT unless he thought the kid had some potential.
