So everybody thinks Wade Smith is going to be ok at LT, is this because most think that with Brunell being left handed he wouldn't be protecting the blind side
Although he got burned a few times all in all Wade had a great year as a rookie (and made the "all-rookie team"). More importantly he played A LOT better then anyone believed he would as a 3rd round pick his first year out. He wasn't supposed to play but maybe a few snaps here and there as a backup.
With off-season conditioning, strengthening and gaining some solid weight/muscle he will be MUCH better next year (and of course a year of nfl experience under his belt). Right or left-handed QB will be much better protected and feel much better with him at LT then they did last year.
