Lawrence Smith is a big question mark to most of us. Even though he is regarded as better then Pucillo that is just because he isn't Pucillo. Well, I thought I'd gaher some quotes other players and coaches had on Smith. So, far this seems good. No ones claiming he is a pro bowler but this could be the start of something pretty solid.
Sounds like exactly what we need someone who is strong enough not to get bowled over and can pass block well.
quotes from:
The guy is really strong, and one of his assets is that guys don't push him back," said center Trey Teague. "He's plenty strong to play that position."
Said assistant line coach Frank Verducci: "A lot of guys can anchor, but it's the ability that once your anchor gets compromised, to reset yourself. He has incredible balance, top level balance, as far as when he gets tipped one way or another, he can recover, reset his hands and re-anchor."
Mularkey said. "He has pass blocked well. One on one, he's done very well, and in the game he's graded out a winning grade. He's stout inside."
