I'd be glad if that was the case, but with a week of Training Camp with Tennant, FO went out and signed Kreutz; so was it a question of not being ready or is there a ceiling there for the BC Center?

Hopefully just insurance. The fact that they let Kreutz quit after a few games tells me they were comfortable with not only De La Puente but with Tennant as a back-up as well.

DLP has been another great surprise, but we're getting thin on the OL and that will need to be addressed in the draft as Free Agency is murky at best right about now...
If Nicks leaves, we're gonna see how much a drop Strief has been... |

And we'll see how mediocre or worse Bushrod is.

And we have to remember that Bushrod's 2012 cap hit of $6.75M will come of the books in 2013, so that would decrease the effect of Evans' cap hit in 2013, if they were to replace Bushrod with a more affordable LT. All I'm saying is that they can keep both Nicks and Evans if they so desire, but none of us really know if that is what they want. |
