Regarding Pritchett, the guy was a full time starter for Alabama. He graded out piss poor by PFF, but why wouldn’t they replace him if he was that bad? Those ratings are like Nebraska Long Snapper bad. My guess is something else was going on there. Formby and McVay, the next two most played tackles, had pretty similar PFF scores. So, all of bama’s OT’s are shit other than Proctor, or something is up with how PFF grades a bama OT.

IMO, we take this kid as a RT. I’d rather Gottula be our LT. But Teddy and Pritchett battling it out as the RT could be good. The biggest pause I have about him is that story about him spreading STD’s. Maybe this kid has some mental problems.

George FItzpatrick would be “fighting” for the job with Gottula, but my guess is Gottula wins. So, Fitzpatrick would be our rotational OT like Teddy was a couple years ago.

We need 2 OT’s, anyway. Teddy is going to get hurt again, and we don’t have any experience at OT other than him. If we can grab both of these players, or players of their caliber, it’ll be a good thing.
