Westerman is a beast going North and South, but lacks the lateral movement necessary for the past teams schemes..... if we are going to run the ball straight at teams this year, he will most likely be the guy. If the Guards are going to have to do a lot of pulling, etc., he ain't it....

You're right, I had forgotten the lateral issue was mentioned. I do find it interesting that he exhibited athleticism and was praised for the same coming out of college yet the mention of lack of lateral movement contradicts that.

I just went back to what Pollack was quoted last year, which wasn't the same as the lateral movement.

I now remember reading that before but somewhat surprised these little(?) things would keep him from seeing the field given how bad Redmond was last year.
