Adeniji on his opportunity

Bottom line, not much fall-off from LC in pass pro, if any. Better lateral movement, but made some mistakes maybe due to inexperience, which are fixable.  Run blocking: Hakeem is a different style of run blocker.  Not as powerful as Collins, but more mobile.  For example, he can pull all the way across to lead a counter left.  Never could do that with La'El.

Having seen this, I am cautiously optimistic that he will be OK.  We will find out for sure Monday night.

The coaching staff has had a long week off to prepare for this transition at RT, I feel comfortable that they will have a plan in place to maximize Adeniji's strengths and mitigate his weaknesses.  For example, I'd like to see Prince lined up outside of Adeniji in the "big" sets;  They could have Prince block down, while Adeniji flows ahead of the play like a lead blocker.
