Like others on here have said Heyer is a "TURNSTYLE". I love the kid story I hope he is MUCH improved, but he seems slow and not vey athletic at times.

Preach on brotha. I couldn't agree more.

I swear when Skins fans are months removed from the last Skins game they forget the depths to which our OL sunk during the season.

Heyer, the undrafted free agent, is being revered as a startable Tackle. Also, people aren't even mentioning the other Guard spot opposite of Dockery. Worse of all is, whatever season starting OL we are 'relegated' to won't have any margin of injury factored into it.

Lets all remember too that starting a rookie, even if drafted at the top of the first, isn't necessarily a good thing. There is a learning curve for any rookie coming into the NFL. Same goes for the fans who want to trade into the 2nd & 3rd so we can 'take care of the rest of the OL'.


Any additions we make to our OL this year will only neutralize the loss of Chris Samuels. If fans have a good memory they'd remember our OL having protection problems even when he was able bodied at the start of the last season.

Building an OL will take more patience and discipline than can be yielded in just one offseason.
