Shocking that a 2nd round pick would "regress" so much that he could not even walk off the field.
He did regress because of a back injury that was very predictable based on the fact that he just had surgery and was rushed back. This is exactly why he is completely unreliable, we will never know when his back pain will flare up again. The back injury may explain poor performance and lack of preparation because of missed practices and the inability for full contact in practices. If Jackson Carman did not have this injury I would be ok with giving him a shot at being starting LG, last thing we need to have is LG who can't play every week and can't build any chemistry with the same starting 5. This is why I want Spain back, there is just no reason to take this risk when we have perfectly capable and affordable Guard we can get in free agency.
