Pretty certain at this stage that Martin just isn't confident playing tackle.
Anybody with two brain cells to rub together knows this is the case.
He was atrocious in the first half but played better in the second half. Im still not expecting much and would much rather go with the better players in Martin and McGovern.The only thing I appreciate about Steele is that he has ideal size (6-6, 310-320, 35+ inch arms).
But he was so atrocious last year in basically every respect that it's hard to envision him being even close to average as a starter. Maybe in a year or two, but it's almost impossible to see right now.
Is he in the top 7?It would be awesome if you could ever actually put the 5 most talented guys on the field in whatever configuration you wanted. If you’re an OL, you play any of the 3 positions. I know that’s an absurd idea, guys can’t do all of them and have spent years at one or two at most. But Steele is not in my top 5.
1) SMITH, TYRON 11/1Is he in the top 7?
I would switch the Connors.1) SMITH, TYRON 11/1
2) MARTIN, ZACK 14/1
3) Williams, Connor 18/2
4) McGovern, Connor 19/3
5) Biadasz, Tyler 20/4
After Biadasz, this is what we have:
He could be the 8th. Nsekhe was supposedly a decent FA swing tackle, but his preseason left much to be desired. Brandon Knight seems to have regressed. Shit, where's Mitch Hyatt?
- NSEKHE, TY U/Buf
- Knight, Brandon CF19
- Steele, Terence CF20
and I would be good with that too. I think McGovern will equal or surpass Williams.I would switch the Connors.
Hyatt is on IR.1) SMITH, TYRON 11/1
2) MARTIN, ZACK 14/1

I think Biadasz and Connor Williams are close right now. They were our two worst week 1. But in all fairness no one was bad at all. Dak had excellent protection most of the day. And Biadasz was going against one of the best NTs in the NFL if not the best.and I would be good with that too. I think McGovern will equal or surpass Williams.
