Now, to my way of thinking, a strong desire to physically dominate one's opponent, should be one the traits when looking to draft an offensive lineman.  Technical aspects of blocking, such as hand placement, footwork, and learning to stay balanced can all be coached, a desire to be physical cannot.

Now, I have not had the chance to watch last night's game, and decide for myself.  I've only the articles I read, and the opinions of all of you who did watch the game, to go by at this point.

Aggressiveness takes confidence.  His confidence was obviously destroyed last year.  It takes awhile to get that back.  Success breeds confidence but it doesn't happen overnight.  As long as he keeps taking steps forward, his confidence will grow. 

What we didn't want to see last night was him being overwhelmed.  And he wasn't.
