I had hopes for this guy based on how athletic he looked in preseason, but man that's some of the absolute worst tape I've ever seen on a professional. It's bad enough that he looks inept, what really bothers me is it doesn't look like he cares a whole lot. I'm not writing him off at his age, but he needs to improve by light years to get back out on the field.

Obviously BYU isn't the Chiefs, but could the demands on the OL be THAT much more varied? Sure he's going against better competition, but not knowing what he's supposed to be doing doesn't really make sense unless the guy has a brain tumor or something.

It's pure hyperbolic bullshit.
There's any number of reasons that explain that behavior. Maybe he was shell-shocked. Maybe he was thinking about how bad he was gonna get beat on the next play. Maybe he was despondent because he was letting Pat get hit so much.
But yeah, let's just jump to "he doesn't care". SMH
He looks like a 2nd round rookie left tackle unsure of what he is seeing out there and not confident of the playbook and line calls. The Veteran even sorta screwed up on his blocking and Joe quickly went over to help Patrick up. Almost like it was his responsibility. Joe doesn't look 100% and that doesn't help the rook either.
