Terrance Steele is going to get Dak injured. Seriously, his play this season has been atrocious. I know he's coming off a major injury, and I hope he can get it figured out soon because his form, of late, is very bad. He's making Chaz Green look like an All Pro, seriously! I'll give you a few examples from just yesterday alone.
On one of the drives, Hassan Reddick goes out with an injury. He comes back a few plays later. He lines up right in front of Steele. If Steele can hold his block for just a moment, I think it was Ferguson who was starting to break open. If Dak has a moment to look for him, it's an easy first down. Except, Steele pretends that he's a turnstile at an amusement park and let's Reddick have a free shot at Dak.
On the two point play, part of the reason that Dak is scrambling is because Steele blows his block forcing Dak to scramble. Then, later on that last drive, Dak gets sacked following first and goal at the 6 because, again, Steele blows his assignment.
And, just for fun, look at the first drive against the Rams last week. He gave up at least two of the first sacks on Dak. He had one where, luckily, there was a penalty on LA, because he gave his rusher a free shot.
If Steele doesn't improve his play, I think the right move is to either have Richards play RT, or move Tyler Smith to RT and have Richards play LG. I know Steele has his new contract, but, for Dak's safety, he cannot keep playing like he is. If he keeps having these issues, he's going to get Dak badly hurt before the regular season is out. You know it's bad when he's legitimately able to be compared to Chaz Green or Doug Free.
