Of course you would also think Ballard would know the importance of the LT position, but based on his actions and comments I don't think he does.
At any rate, water under the bridge I suppose. Hopefully Raimann is the answer at LT and the OL gets back to playing at least decent football again next year. We'll see if Ballard has learned his lesson and at least hedges the position, but I kind of doubt it.

One of my criticisms of Ballard is that he likes to clear a path for a rookie to come in, get playing time and take over a position. Whereas other teams like the Bills would bring in more redundancy. I think Kelly was some redundancy but he was hurt at the beginning of the year.
Pryor was so bad though, not sure why they just didn’t play Raimann. Maybe they thought Pryor would raise his game.
