I don't think it is any coincidence that he attended Bentley's Oline school and now he is much better.

But at the same time, that's not the only reason. Time, reps, health, determination, study, it all works together. He was an awfully young man (I think he was only 20 or 21) when he came out. And the Rams were just a bad team, with the oline being nothing but shifting sands.

In any case, I saw him towards the end of last year suddenly playing better. And he has looked like an entirely different guy in the 2 preseason games this year. Good for him.
