No. He's slow footed as hell and pass blocks worse than Kilgore.
Reminds me of how the Pat's tossed Cassius Marsh. The Pats good quick player evaluations and move on, and really don't hold on to players they've evaluated that don't fit in their system. Unlike ShanaLynch who seem to hang on to players hoping and wishing they will get better or stay healthy, despite negative player evaluations.
ShanaLynch, has to become more cold blooded like Bellicheat - in my opinion - in evaluating talent and letting talent go that doesn't measure up to what they need. Be it health-wise or in Cassius' case - bad system fit.
Yes you want to award players (and keep players) with good work ethic and good character because those are important for the team culture as a whole, but they have to be good athletes first, otherwise you defeat the whole purpose of the whole team -- which is to win NFL games. I think (in hindsight) they should have let Garnett go because (like Cassius) he was a bad system fit. Hopefully from here on in, they let go bad system fit players faster that they have in the past.
