Other than Hawkblogger's thoughts on Britt, I haven't really heard anything negative on him, and rookies have growing pains and learning curves. Its part of the process. Its why you go through minicamps, otas, training camps, and pre-season games. To coach these guys up before games count. And some of you guys have made up your opinion and folded your cards after 4 days of practice?
And for the record the replacement level at RT isn't that great... we are talking about an injury weakened Breno Giacomini and 7th Round 21 Year Old Rookie.
Now "this" is overreaction. LOL! I haven't "folded my cards". I have high hopes for Britt, probably too high, but he is going to struggle because he is a rookie. Like I said: "IF Britt goes down..."
That's when my concern kicks in. Yes, I had a negative impression of Winston last year based on his play in AZ. I live in AZ and I see most Cardinal games - so I did not have a great impression of him as a starter.
However, most of my disappoint here is over Bowie. I just can't believe that someone would spend a year getting schooled by all these great DE's in this division, and knowing you have to face them all again-- you come in out of shape and unprepared for camp.
It's bogus and it hurts the team. And clearly the coach is just as unimpressed because he never calls out players like that.
