Excerpt from Les Bowen article about O line-
Who’s new: Andre Dillard is new, in terms of starting. Dillard takes over for Peters, having shown in limited rookie action that he is as athletic as advertised, but not at all powerful. He got manhandled more than you’d like. Supposedly, Dillard has been working on that out in Washington state. We’ll see how it goes. There also was an undercurrent of concern about Dillard’s mindset, his love of the game. At the pro level, that “love” part, which seems like such a cliche, is so very vital. Especially at the positions where players get banged on and beat up with every rep.
