Derek Sherrod Health Speculation

The same reason I knock Sherrod's readiness, gives reason to believe Newhouse has room to improve his game. He too, came from a school that does not prepare lineman for the NFL. He was a project. Projects are projects. You like to see them getting better, and Newhouse has been doing that since day 1. He's going to be better this year. He's going to have a fight on his hands though. Bakhtiari has game.

Unlike Newhouse though, Sherrod has almost no experience in the NFL. Barely any practice time and even less game time. He was a project who remains in stage 1. He hasn't gotten better. Projects need work, and Sherrod has had none of it.

Slow down JH. We don't need Bakhtiari to be this year's recipient of the JH Alex Green Memorial Hype Curse.

I'm betting Bakhtiari beats Sherrod for the backup LT spot. He's probably further along physically and not far off mentally having come from good OL coaches.

If Sherrod is healthy do you not think he can beat Newhouse for the starter's position or are you looking at moving Bulaga over to the left? I don't know if I'd be all that thrilled with having Bakhtiari at LT.
