Noteboom was starting at a position he has never played at any level and they threw him to the wolves in the NFL without even giving him the pre-season to adjust. That was just plain stupid coaching by Kromer. When he played in 2018 at LT he was extremely good.
At some point they need to move on from Whitworth who showed his decline far too much for my liking. If Noteboom isn't ready in Sept. they have Edwards who can step in until Joe is ready to return then David can move to RT where he belongs. They can shift Evans to RG where he belongs and play Brewer at RT. IMO I see Evans as the RG of the future.
Allen outplayed Sullivan during his games. He's a much better one on one blocker than Blythe or Sullivan. People complain about Allen but ignore Blythe's continued missed blocks that have led to two INT pick sixes? The tape doesn't lie at center.
IMO Whitworth's value is as a coach where his experience can be best used. Kromer has IMO showed he's a poor o-line coach, unable to even coach the fundamentals. He looked fine when they only used an outside zone something every college lineman has probably used since high school. But when he needed to shift to a gap or even inside zone scheme his issues as a coach became apparent.
Also, there is no way they can afford to pay Whitworth the money he will want for simply one year. I would rather see that cap money spent on extending Littleton or Fowler (Whits) cap number potential pay for most of extending both those guy.
IMO what they do at the kicking position is far more important than LT where they already have options with guys already on the roster. Zuerlein's injury history and inconsistency are troubling. I think they sign him to a one year prove it deal but wouldn't be surprised to see them draft a kicker to compete with him. If Greg had been his 2018 self this year this team would be in the playoffs. His misses of make-able kicks lost games. They can't afford that next year.
