Andy Herman:

A lot of talk about Billy Turner’s grades so far.

ESPN has him top rated pass blocking guard while PFF has him as one of their worst rated guards.

FWIW my grades so far:

Wk 1: -0.85
Wk 2: +0.3
Wk 3: +0.65
Total: +0.1

He’s been solid, not great, but a huge upgrade from 2018.

Probably a touch less than solid. He's looked bad against some of the better athletes. That first step that kills him at tackle is still a weakness at guard.

Best past-blocking guard? That’s a bit rich.

Thanks for changing the culture and improving the team Gute.

Okay. Thanks for that. Dovetails with my own assessment which was based on nothing other than I dont remember hearing/reading a whole helluvalot about the guy. Best blocker? Worst? You'd think he'd make a few headlines no?

So, ratings and scores not withstanding he's in "Holding his own and improving" mode. Okay. Could be worse :)

You think average guard for the salary we payed him is a positive free agent signing?

This thing is closer to Jimmy Graham than Preston Smith. The biggest positive to be taken from this is that if he puts up an average season at Guard, there's no way anybody reasonable will be tempted to move him to Tackle.
