Ogbuehi learned all a rookie needed to know about playing RT at the highest level of the sport from the bench with a playbook in his hand?

Get real. This is reality you can't just plug and play there is such a thing as player development and actually playing the sport with the pros helps a great deal. He isn't up to speed like a 2nd year player should be because he is learning the physical part of the game as if he is a rookie no less coming off of an ACL tear. How was he supposed to learn the physical part of the game on the bench?

I somewhat agree.....but I watched the Cowboys/Stoolers tilt on Sunday....quite a few rooks on each team contributing significantly, and not liabilities.  Ogbuehi was lobbied for by his position coach, he should be better than this.
