The Most Irritating Madden Play Ever

I know Locklear wasn’t playing the downs in question, but why, oh why has his performance gone so South of late? He’s too young to have lost a step. Is he just going through the motions to cash that fat paycheck? If so, let’s honor that competition thing while it’s still preseason and give Willis a shot at starting RT.

It is very odd

I know he has had a lot of ankle issues, but for a guy who was once tentatively paid to be the left tackle heir apparent to Walter Jones, he was a revolving door yesterday. Seemed like everyone lined up against him either bull rushed through him like he wasn’t there, or tossed him aside like a rag-doll. Odd. He used to be quite decent, and he isn’t that old…

I have been wondering the same thing...

… Locklear was never elite, but he used to be solid-at-least at either tackle position, and above average at RT. He still has great size and reach, long experience at RT, and relative youth for an OL. He should be a “crafty veteran” at this stage, neither physcially dominant but also neither a glaring liability. Is it ankle problems? Does it have to do with the absence of Walter Jones attracting double-teams on the other side of the line?

It’s worrying but not frustrating to me that the middle of the line looked so weak last night… I don’t at this point have high expectations for Hamilton, Unger, et al. But I have to say I’m frustrated to see Locklear under-performing. Can anyone who understands these things better shed some light?
