First round pick Taylor decker looks horrible in Detroit. Brandon scherf couldn't even be the teams right tackle so they moved him to guard. Let Chaz develop and just hope he stays healthy
We have one of the few fan bases that is ready to cut rookies and second year players at the drop of a hat. Straight lunacy...I didn't get the overreaction last week. Not surprised he played better this week. Should continue to improve thru the season. Not saying he is a finished project yet but definately getting better.
I see a young player gutting it out, playing a lot of preseason snaps, and improving with each one. He's being challenged, and in my opinion, he's fighting to rise up to that challenge.
A far better sight than watching Darrion Weems last year, I can tell you that!
Not sure why everyone is crushing this guy. He didn't play all of last year. Take a year off from your job and when you come back to it you'll be a little slow and rusty too. Give this guy till the end of preseason before all you haters bash him.
I pick on him because he's the weakest link and I was reading (could be lies from the media) that he's lazy and doesn't like to practice. But I agree he's gotten better, not much, but enough to see there is potential.
Weakest link on this line might not be weak at all.

I think it's a combination of things.
1) Surprise when he was drafted. Many were scratching their heads when a team with our starting offensive line drafted another tackle in the 3rd round, especially this guy, who wasn't highly-regarded leading up to the draft, making the pick look like a reach.
2) Frustration in seeing his rookie year lost to injury
3) Some less than flattering training camp reports
4) His obvious struggles against the Rams
Like the team, I'm remaining patient with him, and I'm encouraged by what appears to me to be a player rising up to the challenge before him, but I can see how some fans may have at least some form of disappointment or frustration too.
