How do we feel about Robert Hunt today

[The Bopkin]

I have to admit, I kept meaning to watch him, but I really got so caught up in all the scoring that I forgot.
Did anyone pay attention to how Hunt did today, making his first start at right tackle?
He didn't get called out for anything bad- no holding, no horrible gaffs- so i guess that is good. Did anyone pay attention and can give a decent review of how he did matching up in his first start?

He played RT, not RG.

Yeah I know, I fixed that. Typing faster than I was thinking.

If you don't notice offensive linemen, then they did their job

I'm wondering why he wasn't playing game 1.

He seemed to not be noted for any glaring missed assignments, which is usually a good thing. I thought our oline as a whole looked the best they have in the last 5+ years, maybe more. The defense was great, the oline was great. Even Bobby McCain was great today.

I thought there might have been a few players where his guy got around him quickly, but Fitz had good awareness. Davis did a decent job at LT and Hunt did okay for his first game as well imo

Hunt was admiral today. Tackle position is a backbreaker especially for a rook. This looks like this OL could go somewhere special with some good coaching and getting Jackson back.

As others have mentioned on this site it may be due to him being a very raw prospect coming into the NFL:

Fire Grier! Ok I'm done. I guess we will see the flame on people when they lose again.

Hunt did fine. I saw good strength...some techniques that can be cleaned up but overall solid work. Better than I imagined.

 

[BigNastyFish]

Super good news IMO. The kid looked like he belonged on the field!

Huge accomplishment for a rookie like him with less than top tier college comp.

Him and Big Fish look rather Nasty together!

I love it!

He looks for contact that’s for sure, coach him up so he doesn’t get to much over his toes and he will be fine. He has things you can’t coach plus a great mentality. And what isnt great at most of it can be coached so i like his chances .

He certainly past his 1st test. I think he just needs more experience and development. But he did look like he Belonged out there today. He held his own.

Lol...some of the post are so Bi-polar.
The other day they wanted to fire Grier and Flores becuase Hunt didn't crack the starting line-up.
The ONLY conclusion was because he was a bust...

I've seen us lose so many games owing to bad offensive tackle play, with some of those being veterans who were supposed to be ok, so anytime we throw a rookie out there and he doesn't get us killed it feels like a win.

I would like to see what people see in a more detailed analysis of him.
