Am I concerned about him taking over for Zeitler? Absolutely. He's a 5th round guy who didn't play a single snap and when Boling was injured, he didn't get a sniff at all when we tried to figure out the OL. We called up Trey Hopkins from the PS for week 17 and he saw more game time than Westerman.
To be fair Boling was a 4th round pick and it has worked out well. OL is actually a position where late picks and UDFA's somewhat commonly become starters in the NFL.
