Another huge problem is the penalties. They are out of control. Admittedly, many of those in the Cards game (especially in the first half) were just terrible calls. But still, we see the same mental mistakes week in and week out (I'm looking at you, Ifedi).
We could not have a worse first test than Julio Jones and Matt Ryan.

I doubt he will get the same results the following week against even an average LT.
Our Offense has never been consistently great. A few years ago I called it a Popgun Offense and it has actually sunk to that level.
Our OL is still a problem and I believe the main issue with the Offense, but I give Ifedi a bit of a break, after all, he's really a rookie RT and having to relearn the fundamentals of a different position while under fire.
He has the temperament and athleticism to be a RT in our system, but he doesn't yet have the experience.
Pocic looks like he could be a good selection, but RG and a dominating RB are missing. Maybe Pocic can get into the weight room and move to RG next year if Joeckel is retained.

Infedi in particular has played enough to know that whatever 'upside' exists is likely minimal at best. He has shown very little since he's been in there. The guy was challenged to begin with by only playing one year in college.
The NFL is heck of a place to try to train OL who have no clue to begin with. All rookies experience growing pains, but the good ones show signs or progress along the way. Neither Infedi or Fant qualify. I don't think either will either be on the team or starters next season.

I think he could be a more athletic Breno given time.
