just some cynicism

I want to believe that Romine will develop into our starting LT. He just looked uncomfortable and uncoordinated when he was in there last year. Maybe he was still recovering from his previous injuries, maybe not.

As far as Clelland, is he big enough yet? Probably a year away.

As far as Robinson, he really looked like a freshman down the stretch, especially after Stewart's injury pressed him into full-time duty. If anything, his weakness was pass blocking-- not good for a LT.

When Duncan played in 2007, it was just frightening. He was not ready for prime time. Maybe the year off gave him some confidence since he wasn't getting beaten like a drum.

I'd like for Clelland or Romine to develop into the LT that we need, but the cynic in me thinks that they won't be that much better than Duncan, whose experience will help him win the spot.

Then again, Turkovich developed into a solid LT for us. Maybe that can happen with Duncan, Robinson, or Romine. I'm just not sold that the bodies we have translate to actual depth.
