No, he won't. But he'll go to war with those guys after a full training camp in his system.
With both of them getting good reps last season, it only helped their development if Albert gets traded prior to the start of the season.
And there are very few rookies who are forced into playing time that usually come out looking like rock stars. Neither of those guys got first team reps until they were forced onto the field due to injury.
However, both were high level players at the college level with potential for the NFL who now know what it's like to block at that level. That game time that they got was extremely valuable and an off-season/summer camp with a guy that is a pretty decent offensive mind versus a complete buffoon like Daboll is going to be Nirvana-level enlightening for not only the offensive line, but for all the players.
I think that both of those guys are going to be okay when the season rolls around.
