Not since that one first round QB from Florida has a Denver first round pick been as scrutinized and agonized over as first round left tackle Garett Bolles. Since coming into the league, Bolles has been one of the top offensive lineman in holding penalties and has routinely failed to live up the Broncos organization and fans’ expectations.
Last season, after Drew Lock was inserted into the lineup, there were rumblings amongst the media and fanbase that Bolles had turned a corner and finally begun to show improvement.
However, Joe Rowles, Joe Mahoney, and Jeff Essary all got together and studied Bolles’ tape from the last four years to break down why that wasn’t necessarily the case, even though his holding calls had been reduced.
