I like Cross and I was happy we grabbed him, but I was thinking we were going back to ground Chuck. Cross is a quick study and a supreme athlete, so I guess he will learn to run block but when Neal was still there at 7, i kinda hoped we'd bust a move on him.
Part of me is saying: We don't even have a QB but we're going with an LT that is not known for his run blocking? Then another part of me is saying : That's exactly why we need a pass pro LT. Anything that makes our QB more comfortable is probably a good investment.
Cross is going to play a long time in this league and has many, many more positives than he has negatives. I'll sleep well enough tonight.
And I'll be dreaming of Breece Hall.
That‘s good analysis on JJ, it’s entirely possible I’ve bought into the hype. Still curious if something off field was at play.
In regards to Cross, you’re supporting my argument a bit…Cross was the best renaming OT, ie they were picking the position, not the player. Hyperbole driven by PTSD, but shades of Collier there.
