At Practice Report 8/19

It might have been culture and fit. The west coast isn't for everyone. He might have just felt way out of sorts and needed a place that had biscuits and gravy and sweet tea. Once he gets settled he might just get comfortable.

Well if biscuits and gravy are involved, girth won’t be a problem for long if it has been previously.

sounds like our RT position is still unsolved. We have 2 guys who do 1 aspect of the job well, but not both. Flax is great at run blocking, plowing forward, but isn't agile enough in space to block DE's. Ford is athletic and flexible enough to pass block well, but hasn't the girth or strength to run blockt effectively.

IMO Flax starts, but Ford subs in frequently

This is a lack of girth? I don't think that's it. He's just been on the west coast too long and they're known as being soft out there. Stoops will toughen him up!
