He saw 71 pass blocking snaps and allowed 0 pressures while starting against 1s and 2s.
In March, we noted he was in a class of his own as a pass blocker. It translated. https://t.co/84WWF798YF
There is zero doubt in my mind we got a special Center in Matt Lee now. Heard Ted say he also asks a lot of questions and Ted is trying
to help him for the future when he retires and hands of the baton. Matt Lee is a great pass protector, if he can get good in run blocking he
could be a fantastic player for us. Love how he avoids penalties, he engages just enough to win and let's his man go.

The fact we landed Lee in the 7th and how he has looked thus far makes me feel like an idiot, but also feel very happy.
Was a fan of both of those guys as well. We will see if we were right about Frazier. He will start now with the stealers Center on IR.
