I wasn't a big fan of that either. Honestly I would have rolled with Cam and tried to compete with vets. But that is partly selfish on my part. I am getting older and don't want to wait another 10 or 15 years to contend for another Superbowl. I want to be able to jump up and down and hi five not sit in my wheelchair and huff oxygen. It might not be that bad but you get my meaning. LOL

You and me both. Or at least I wouldn't have nuke the entire roster and kept Cam. Oddly enough, our tackles have been really good this year and I think Cam would have weathered the OL storm much better without getting annihilated from the blind side. Plus, can you imagine him as healthy as he has looked in NE with Robby Anderson??? Jesus.

You need to watch All 22 to know exactly HOW bad he has been. 

It's bad.  I don't need stats to tell me how bad.

What vets?

I was a big critic of getting rid of Bradberry and didn't love the Turner trade and not signing Cockrell, Kyle Love off the top. I could go on but that is not where we are at so I am going to look ahead instead of behind. But that is me.

We did win that Turner/Okung trade at the moment. Okung has been our best offensive lineman and the best LT since Gross.

If they keep running him 10-15 times a game I am afraid he is going to get "2016" ed or hurt by head shots. At his age and injury history should he be running the ball 150 carries at his age. If that were the Panthers everyone would be saying that we are using him up as a battering ram.

And Cam wants to prove he is back and healthy that I worry he might get hurt trying too hard to take everything on his back.

It costs next to nothing for NE to use him up on a one year, cheap deal. I agree that Cam will likely push as hard as possible(maybe too hard) to prove that he isn't done. I wish him the absolute worst as far as success in New England(fug everything about that team) but I hope he is able to get a big contract somewhere else so I can root for him again.

Yeah and if that continues I will be the first to say that trade was a great move. The fact he was a decent tackle in San Diego was the only reason I took a wait and see approach. Then when Okung was supposed retiring I was hoping it wasn't so otherwise the trade was disasterous. So both of them are dinged up a bit. We will see how it goes. I am rooting for Okung of course
