16.6 PFF grade for Dalton Tucker?

This wasn't the same as two years ago, when we put Matt "turnstile" Prior out there and he was blocking air.

Tucker clearly does not have an NFL body yet.

Yeah, he'll get there. Remember how much bigger Raimann got from year-1 to year-2?

Besides being a rookie and taking lumps (against a talented stretch of opponents, btw)... he's the direct drop-off from Fries who was one of the highest graded guards in the league when he got hurt.

The comparison makes him look even worse. Same for the other two rooks on the OL. I like them all, but they are rookies, so it's not surprising that they look like it. Sucks to lose three good OL at once.

Yeah, it's more like when Pinter started at OG and our opponents quickly figured out he wasn't strong enough to hold up to a bull rush. The difference is that that was Pinter's 3rd year in the league, and Tucker has shown much more promise at OG then Pinter did. So not saying to give up on him. Just maybe go w/ one of the vets that does have an NFL body before Tucker gets AR killed.

I am hoping we bring Glowinski up from the PS next week.
