I brought up a number of times that the chances Sewell even played at Bobby Hart level as a rookie were slim, and was emphatically told over and that there is no way Sewell wasn't an immediate upgrade over Hart. 6 games in and Sewell has already given up more sacks this year than Hart did last year.
On the other hand, Team Sewell almost to a man predicted that Sewell would be an immediate upgrade, and he isn't.
It's too early to say Sewell is a bust. I mean, Kolton Miller of the Raiders allowed 16 sacks as a rookie but developed into a quality starter by year 3. It's not to early to say that he is not the immediate upgrade that folks said he would be. The need for an immediate upgrade on the OL was a primary selling point for Sewell during the debate.
I missed it by a mile. I thought Sewell would come in and dominate from day 1. At any position.
Like you said, he may, and probably will, still turn out to be very good to great. I just didn't expect him to struggle to the extent he has.
