Rubes Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Anyone think we still need to upgrade that position? Dude is playing like a man. Looking more and more like a fantastic draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 He's progressing nicely and I have to (reluctantly) give Kromer much of the credit. The man can coach blocking schemes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blokestradamus Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I'm trying to avoid being smug about him but I'm finding it really hard. He's seen Brandon Williams, Leonard Williams, Calais Campbell and Aaron Donald this year. Hasn't looked like he's out of his depth against any of them. Really happy for him, making his mother proud.

TakeYouToTasker Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 He's clearly gotten much stronger, and the game seems to have finally slowed down for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metzelaars_lives Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I never really paid much attention to this stuff in years past but evidently everyone said we were much more effective running behind the left side of the line last year and this year I've noticed that we seem to run just as much- and just as effectively- running to the right. Am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike22nc Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 He was terrible last year and I was really upset we did nothing to upgrade the right side of the line. His improvement from year 1 to year 2 has been great and I'm so glad I was wrong. This may be the team I thought we should have last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Well it more shows how little most who post here really know. Practically everyone here wants pro bowl level play out of rookies and when it doesn't happen, then that player needs to be replaced and Whaley is an idiot for not doing that. O-line is probably one of the toughest spots for rookies to com in due to the fact the O lineman typically play all game, they don't sub out unless they get hurt or nicked up. So the "rookie wall" likely hits them much harder than other positions. But armchair GM's won't accept that. Anyone think we still need to upgrade that position? Dude is playing like a man. Looking more and more like a fantastic draft pick. Completely 100% untrue!!, the team let a rookie get a year older. They get that! He was terrible last year and I was really upset we did nothing to upgrade the right side of the line. His improvement from year 1 to year 2 has been great and I'm so glad I was wrong. This may be the team I thought we should have last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I am not surprised. I thought the signs were there last year for those willing to genuinely watch the tape and look for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokestradamus Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 He handled Donald one on one on that opening 16 yard burst by Shady up the middle When they were matched up, I think he gave up one pressure to Donald all game. Mighty impressive display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was inconsistent early on, but you could clearly see the makings of a good G in his game. Then he was hampered by that high ankle which limited his effectiveness as well. Technique wise, he was usually very sound right out of the gate. Another year and working with the same group has helped a ton as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Between the injury and his mom dying midseason last year, it was a tough year to judge him on. Very glad he's come on strong this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaaadThingsMan Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Its almost like they knew what they had on the right side and didn't need to make any offseason moves to "shore" it up. Weird. Love Miller, guy is a stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
