I agree he looked lost in preseason. I think this is largely due to a new system.
I still am very hopeful for him. I went back and watch some film specifically when he was matched up with Aiden Hutchinson all game. He looks good, and he plays hard. To the very end of every play.

Id be hard pressed to say there are any OL between 69 - 100 that look much better than he does.

Hopefully, even with the injury, he has been taking the time to better understand our system and his role in it. If everything works out as planned, I think he could be a real difference maker by mid season and lock by the 2024 season.
