He isn't a young player to make excuses for. Let's call a spade a spade. He isn't paid to be an average to below average LT where you need to squint your eyes, make excuses, and convince yourself that his play isn't as bad as it looked.
Not saying Orlando played well, saying he should play much better this year with a healthy Joe Burrow.
The entire OL played pretty shitty last year, but it sure didn't help being in the Shotgun most of the year when Burrow was hurt.
