Westerman Needs to Be our RG

Meanwhile Westerman was the highest graded OL with zero pressures across 25 pass block snaps according to PFF.  We also know how well he played the final couple of games last year, why does he continue to not get first team reps until there are injuries?

I decided to go back and view Westernmans first 18 plays against bears #2, and he did fine but nothing spectacular,  to be honest he played over air numerous pass plays since bears had slanted over center and #97 had very little pass rush ability,  he had some strong run blocks but also play 12 he lost technique and was going to ground on a pass and there were a couple plays on run he hadlittle or no movement off the line (10, 15, 17) and this was against there 2nd string so when you take everything in account I dont think any guard was clearly better on Thursday
