And I also take into account playing next to a LT who couldn't anchor and was getting beat to the inside consistently - that makes the life of a Guard rather more complicated. Also, the coaches who work with these players evaluated Volson and are high on him, and they know more than we do (for example what all the assignments were on every play).
What these oline coaches that know more than us showed me last year:
Ted Karras went from a 72 rating in 2021 to a 62 rating in 2022
Alex Cappa went from 73 to 67
La'el Collins went from 82 to 57
These oline coaches have shown they can take rookies and make them bad and turn decent veteran starters into mediocre.
