I don't know all that much buzz about Bennie Anderson. Watched him a few times myself, I found myself agreeing with a lot of Raven fans that Anderson is a revolving door.
There is a reason that he has lasted this long in FA when there were a ton of guards signed before him. In fact Ravens themself needed a guard and they chose to sign Keydrick Vincent and made no attempt retaining Anderson.
From what I've seen, Anderson is a powerful dude who can move a pile - that certainly fits what Mularkey wants to do. But his pass protection leaves a lot to be desired. My general impression is that he's not good at movements, especially lateral movements. The Steelers had no problem getting linebackers shooting pass him.
I read some profile on him now that the Bills have signed him. Maybe Anderson's problem in pass protection lies in his weight. There are very, very few guys like Mike Williams who can move well at 350 lb. Anderson to me is at that weight range. Maybe he can lose some weight and become more mobile, like Keydrick who, despite his 6'6" frame, played at 320 lb.
Now speaking of nutritionist who can whip these guys into shape and in light of the recent revelation about steroids use in NFL and about Steelers in that regard, did Mularkey get rid of Rusty Jones so that he could bring someone who really knows how to bring the best physical ability out of players by "all means"? Don't shoot me for saying what's obvious within NFL.
