Remember when Geno got hurt, came back looked terrible and then year two after injury looked great again?Best response yet. Well thought out and full of knowledge. Thank you Murdock.

Jonah misses the entire rookie season with an injury from around the draft, and then misses a good portion of year two.
Nico said, why rush back in a lost season. And to that, my reply was there is no such thing as a lost season for a guy who has less reps in the NFL then guys drafted a year after him.
Green got hammered for taking plays off and not trying in the "lost season" after being reliable for year after year. His first seven years, he missed 9 games. 9 games in seven years!!! Meanwhile the future stud LT that is going to be the answer to the line and why we didn't need a tackle in the draft shouldn't rush back in a "lost season" even though he doesn't have enough reps to know if he is even any good.
That is my issue with the statement. If you dog Green, your dogged Ross, came down on Eifert, then you better be flinging it at Williams too. The guy needs pro reps and certainly could have gotten some his rookie year but "the team shut him down". Which with the Cordy Glenn nightmare that season, you really think the team was like nope, we don't need him to get out there and get some experience? I don't believe that for a second, that literal looks like team speak to cover for a guy who wasn't ready to go out there.
All in all, just keep this number in mind 22.
Williams has already missed 22 games in just two seasons as a professional offensive tackle. That’s not a great sign.
