I ask because I haven't heard anything about him since he was drafted.

I know, this is his 1st year at LT
full-time, but since his insertion at RT during his rookie season, the guy has been slow to show his potential any where at the OL. Actually, he played better at RT than he has at any point at LT. This is the time in his career where
we should be seeing growth, where the likes of W.Jones, J.Ogden, O.Pace, in their careers starting showing signs of what made them top tier Tackle selections. Well, if Gallery is and was supposed to be one...THE TIME IS NOW! Or, if we cant see this growth next season, the
"bust" word will tossed around. I'm not goign to go as far as some and rant B.S about how he "sucks" and needs to be "cut", as I saw much of that garbage this past season, but the guy needs to show just a bit, of what he could do at LT to give us a glimmer of hope.
Gallery, how he back-peddles and lets DL get into him, or just maneuver around him, and due to his lack of use of hands and getting caught in his back-peddle instead of changing it up and getting his grubby hands on DL -- the guy isnt in college vs BOYS, I know -- a far different game. But, you would think a lot of the skills that made him such a dominant OL in college would translate onto the field in the NFL. Its been a slow progress. I think he can still be a reliable LT in the NFL -- I just hope we can salvage him ASAP!
With Slater, Eatman, Shell its a shame what occured this season....I thought this could be the one facet of this team that would evolve as the season progressed...
