GT, you've always said he's been the most consistent o linemen this year. I am surprised though that you say he's above avg. I always thought he was a decent pass blocker but not very good at run blocking & blocking downfield.

I would also guess that he's not strong enough ideally to play guard & w/his problems in getting his center of gravity lower, it would seem he'd get mauled by strong, quick DTs & NGs the way Rabach does.
