He'll be awesome. He has the drive to get where he needs to go, it just may take some time.

I'm starting to lean more and more towards YES. I mean one play he jumped offsides and STILL got beat by Will Smith. This guy might have to stay on the right side cuz he will get killed on the left side. Not sure I can deal with him all year.

THIS
Getting more and more worried... he just doesn't look to have what it takes to play outside at this next level. Might have to move him to RG. Not giving up yet on him... but I strongly suspect he can't do the job at OT.

No, playing left tackle all the way.
Last year the Packers and 49ers had two of the worst pass blocking offensive lines in the NFL. So it was no surprise that both teams went out and drafted tackles in the first round of this year's draft.
But if you thought that a team's pass protection problems can be solved with a first-round tackle, you'd be sorely mistaken. It's not fun to be a rookie tackle in the NFL. There were four tackles taken in the first round of the 2010 draft. Three of them (Anthony Davis, Trent Williams and Bryan Bulaga) rank among the bottom 15 in the NFL in sacks allowed this season. The fourth, Russell Okung, has only started five games because of injuries.

They need switch him to his natural position at left tackle. Joe Staley has really gone down the last couple of years.

Now I'm starting to see why the cowgirls laughed at us for picking him.

still to early to start labeling players one way or the other. it was the first preseason game after only 11 practices in a new scheme, relax.

Eh...I'm kind of worried about the pick now. He looked effin awful out there, just as bad as he was last year. He's not a rookie anymore, and Iupati looks far more solid.
Not putting the ineffectiveness of the OL all on him (Snyder and Rachal were also awful), but he's supposed to be one of the best linemen we have...and he frankly sucks.

Baalke needed to get housecleaned too....but I guess the yorkies didn't want to pay a real GM.

we are only 11 practices in. the games dont count right now so there really isnt much to worry about at this time. last night might have actually been a blessing for us. it showed harbaugh exactly what he is working with and what/who needs improving.
