I have given up on Storm Norton. I have seen enough.

Just read an article in The Athletic about it. Pipkins sounds like a player who's hungry to win a starting job and keep developing into a very good offensive lineman. If he has a good year perhaps we can sign him to a cap-friendly extension and have one of the best offensive lines for the next handful of seasons.

I'm not going to any practices this year but if anyone does, please keep an eye on Pip and let us know what you see as objectivity as possible.
I'm sure there will be popper's takes, but we would all appreciate collateral perspectives.

Pipkins played a couple of clean games last year. 1 at LT, 1 at RT. He did not look good on jumbo/ ST blocks.
I believe that he'll be a better than avg starting RT this year. Add the talented Zion Johnson at RG and we're a complete OL.
It'll be interesting.

I wouldn't bet the farm on Pipkins but it sure would be great if he actually is ready to take over that RT spot and do it well.
Am I the only one a bit bothered by the thought of a rookie RT and an inexperienced RT playing next to each other?
As for Norton, he'll do as swing tackle. We do need depth. We should also allow for the possibility that Norton will come in to TC and be improved. We never know.THE YEAR OF THE FLIP!

We could be wrong but he looks pretty good going in. I think Pip gets the RT job. He has some experience and it looks like his time is now.
Schofield & Norton set a low bar. Zion & Pip may start at that level but should improve rapidly.
Still it's all guess work 'till we see them in pads.
ps: I believe Norton will be improved after his 1st season as an NFL starter. I think Pipkins has more to offer.
