So far, nobody seems to be taking one thing into account and that is the fact that LT Charles Cross (drafted at #9) has nearly cracked the top 10 in both run and pass blocking and Grey Zabel will benefit big time from that.
He will have his adaptations to work on for sure, but the fact that Cross is there to his immediate left is going to help him big time.
I also think that Olu is going to dial his play up another click and having Zabel sandwiched in there helping to further bolster the left side, is going to help him (Olu) to play the Center position better than he did last season.
Now the right side will likely take a bit more tinkering to get up to speed, but hey, I believe we are going to all be pleasantly surprised by mid season.
