He&#8217;s consistently been with the starters over the last week and a half with veteran Larry Borom getting mostly second-team and swing tackle reps now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jack of all trades:<\/strong> Sticking with the offensive line, the only position Frazier hasn&#8217;t lined up at along the offensive line in camp is center. He&#8217;s played both guard spots, and on Sunday he played at both left and right tackle. That kind of versatility is what makes a player stand out when teams start thinking about what their gameday roster will look like.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Catching my eye:<\/strong> For the second practice in a row, rookie defensive lineman Skyler Gill-Howard caught my eye. His first-step quickness allowed him to slice into the backfield for a sack in a late team period. Two plays later, he met a running back in the hole forcing a run for no gain. At only 6-foot, 280 pounds, Gill-Howard has a leverage advantage over most interior offensive linemen and his quick first step has allowed him to make some plays during the last couple practices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Miller&#8217;s job to lose: Rookie first-round pick Blake Miller has put a stranglehold on the starting right tackle&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":991905,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[10],"tags":[397718,297622,143897,62424,58920,198097,62423,340982,397719,62,124200,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-991904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ben-bartch","tag-blake-miller","tag-christian-izien","tag-homepage-centerpiece-package","tag-jahmyr-gibbs","tag-miles-frazier","tag-news-twentyman","tag-roger-mccreary","tag-skyler-gill-howard","tag-sports","tag-tyler-conklin","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/117067993052058617","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/991904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=991904"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/991904\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/991905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=991904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=991904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=991904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
