Did injuries impact his pressure rate? Most likely, a little, but he needs to clean up techniques as well. I think he has tremendous upside.
Playing with a torn pec and a club on your hand can mess with your play no doubt.

You aren't disagreeing with me. Alt was great as a rookie as most of us all thought he would be. He was the most pro ready Tackle in the
Draft. I just like Mims upside more because of his size, strength and balance that cannot be taught.
If you disagree with that, fine.

Yes sir.
(Yesterday, 12:59 PM)Essex Johnson Wrote: but I actually like Alt upside now and long term better than Mims,, nothing against Mims i supported the pick (especially the non existent idea that he was often hurt in college) and happy with his performance, but what Alt showed as a rookie reinforced the separation of his draft selection and others.
Alt was more pro ready no question, but upside has to do with raw talent. Mims has the size, athleticism, balance that cannot be taught.
That is why I like Mims upside over Alt's. Alt has fantastic technique though and will probably be an All Pro his entire career.
Mims could be our best Right Tackle since Willie Anderson though. High praise I know.
(Yesterday, 01:06 PM)jason Wrote: Yeah. He was the consensus best OT prospect, and he backed it up. I'd say Mims acquitted himself nicely too given his lack of experience, the poor play to his left, and the fact he was coached by a guy who wasn't retained. He has all the tools to be a very good lineman in this league. For the first time in 3 years, we made the right pick.
Well said Jason, Cappa and Pollack did Mims no favors and he still as you say acquitted himself nicely. The tools Mims has are rare and
he is also very smart something you cannot say enough about a young OL.
