I remember Dre being at least serviceable, albeit out of shape. Ogbuehi has looked lost out there. I hope he "gets it", but man, he looked REALLY bad. That's not what really concerned me though, leaving him out there to fail as long as they did was real unnerving.
There is nothing I can say to defend Ogbuehi's play this year.
I think the coaches thought he would "learn on the job" after not getting any reps in training camp. There are some things that can only be learned through getting reps, and Og did not just look weak and slow, he also looked lost and confused by even simple stunts. Unfortunately he just did not seem to get any better even after playing a few games.
I am willing to give Ogbuehi one more chance if he can have a full healthy training camp nest year, but he has to improve every aspect of his game i.e. technique, functional strength, and game awareness.
