I think Borom has the potential to start at LT some time this season, but as of now he still has some technique issues to clean up. This is like Daniels his rookie year when technique wise he was not ready to start until mid-season.
Daniels was younger and needed more work on his body. Borom obviously would benefit from more time and reps, especially after missing a couple weeks of camp but he already showed better hands than college in his play this pre. His drops also looked fine on the left.

Him being fat is reality. It's not pessimistic.

Being old and fat is not a issue of perspective - it is what it is.

Alot of lineman are fat. So fucking what

He's a future hall of famer and probably the best tackle on the roster with no offseason and hardly any training camp

I think Borom is improving weekly, but will start the season as the swing tackle. Can't think with his injury history Peters will last long. Once Borom starts he won't be coming back out.

Did the trade come with a time machine? If not then the above is not particularly relevant.

Dude gave up 8 sacks in about half the snaps as Leno who gave up 5. So he was on pace for like 14-16 sacks given up. Now maybe he rejuvenates his career here but he is a huge ? right now.

He was also blocking for Wentz. Who was clueless and bad and taking unnecessary sacks

I don't know about Peters yet.

Honestly, he did look "hard to get around." He might be an upgrade to Leno. But if he gets hurt...he's not an upgrade, neither is Jenkins at the moment.

Leno would still be here if not for his cap hit.
He looks more involved in WA but was phoning it in here. Won’t miss him.

To be honest I hope it was a wakeup call for Leno after being cut. I hope he does well there.

So you are saying if a player gets hurt they don't contribute to the team?

Damn, lemme get some more of that groundbreaking wisdom.

Seems like a tough concept for some....has to be said.

Wait a minute. Isn't calling Peters "an old man" disrespectful to him?
