Prince, I didn't care for as a Tackle when he played at OSU, and he has also failed to develop as a Pro. I'm kind of bummed about D'Ante Smith floundering as well, I thought that he would come to camp this year and really establish himself as the man for swing Tackle, but that just seems to not be the case.
Same, I still like D'Ante too and think at least 1 of those 3 calls was just BS.
Have hope for D'Ante still that is for sure. The first 2 mentioned, not so much.
Tackle depth is the most concerning to me right now after what these guys have shown though, I think they are all Tackles.
The inside Lineman are less length and more bull like Karras, Cappa, Volson, Carman and such.
Even though Volson has great length and can play OT he is very versatile.

And it's effectively his rookie season in terms of getting his timing up to par, seeing things at game speed and communicating with his linemates (who aren't exactly the 90s Cowboys, to be fair). I'm still holding out hope that we're watching his learning curve and not necessarily a plateau.
Big time potential with D'Ante no question. He is honestly still ahead of what I thought. He will get it down.
Just a tough outing for him getting a couple penalties but I still say 2 of those calls were very questionable.

Almost the same with Trey Hill although he wasn't quite as bad week 1 but still played much better. So I believe D'Ante could have that same improvement after his 1st game action.
I still think we need to sign someone who can play LG and ideally have some versatility.
I would like Ereck Flowers myself. I don't think our coaches or FO want Spain back regardless of what some say.
Quinton said some stuff after the SB on twitter you just shouldn't say and it has hurt him.
Plus he has a tendency to get overweight.
