Watched Pryor's lone game of 2021 at LT just now. His play recognition, at least at LT, is bad. He let a blitz through the B gap because he just didn't see it, and several times he missed the guy he was supposed to block, allowing them to make a play. He was up against Yannick Ngakoue for most of the game and did better than I thought he would given the matchup, but there were a handful of times that Ngakoue beat him badly. On one play, Ngakoue had him completely turned around. Ngakoue was also able to coax a holding penalty out of Pryor. Ngakoue registered a sack in the game that did not come against Pryor, but there were several pressures by Ngakoue against Pryor, including one that was dangerously close to a perfectly timed strip sack. Overall it was a solid performance for a swing tackle making a spot start out of necessity, but it's definitely not a performance you'd want to see from your starting left tackle.
