I'm looking for him to make good decisions. I think that's the key for Albert. We have to make sure he is doing that on every play. We want to make sure he is developing his ability to read defenses and use the check system.

I just want his mobility. How well can he move around. We want to make sure he can have pressure on the leg and run. We want to give him limited reps in practice and see how he responds.

At this point it is hard to tell how good we will be, but we will really be able to tell once everyone gets the pads on and we head into training camp. We still need to understand the schemes a little better, but we will be OK if they stay enthusiastic and energetic like they were today.
