I think Kraemer is the second best run game blocker on the offensive line, second only to Nelson. Frankly, I would be tempted to say the same of Hainsey! On passing plays, I cringe when I see some speed rusher fly past either of these guys with a damn near direct path to Wimbush, and watching Kraemer in particular try to get lateral movement to handle this kind of player can be painful. That said, I think both, and Kramer in particular, are definitely improving in the pass protection game, and improvement seems week to week. There's no question that playing both like this is providing invaluable experience for each, but seems to me we are past time to pick a winner and ride that guy for the rest of the season. Kraemer would be my pick, but that's absent a sense for what they plan for next year. I thought Kraemer was Nelson's heir apparent and too talented to keep off the field in the interim, but thought this was also the reason for playing Hainsey at RT as a true freshman, assuming he would hold this position by himself next year. However, based on projections by guys like IIO that know the game better than me, It looks like Kramer is increasingly projected at RT, which confuses me as I thought he was perfectly skilled to be a guard. All very confusing to my eye, and look forward to reading some informed opinions.
