There have been many positives in camp so far, but there have also been some struggles. One key player needing to improve is last year's top 10 pick, offensive tackle Darnell Wright. Wright has had difficulty winning matchups, particularly against Montez Sweat, who has been getting to the quarterback with ease. This issue persisted during Monday's indoor practice due to rainy conditions. CHGO's Nicholas Moreano reported on the practice, highlighting Wright's ongoing struggles in camp.
My worst you guys, and I think a little before the practice I was talking about Montez Sweat but also Darnell Wright, at this point in camp, Darnell Wright cannot block Montez Sweat. Sweat has to let it up now because he is getting back in the backfield at such a fast rate you are just wondering where Darnell Wright is attempting to block this guy. We need to see a little more resistance from Wright.
This is not what you expect to see from a top 10 pick.
Montez Sweat is a challenging matchup. While it's understandable that Wright might struggle occasionally, the main concern is the lack of resistance that Nick mentioned. Even though they've just started practicing in full pads, it's vital to see more effort and improvement from Wright. On a positive note, it seems Montez Sweat has learned from his previous mistakes when it comes to making contact with Caleb Williams. Despite getting into the backfield effortlessly on Monday, he showed restraint and refrained from stripping the ball, even though he had the opportunity.
