I'd like them to keep Whit for a number of reasons. First, contracts don't go to head, he's consistently good and the best we have on the OL. He's playing well and don't see why he can't for another year or two, barring injury.

The talent evaluation and recent drafts concerns me as well. It's like they decide during the draft who's going to be the next starter at position X and don't seem to figure in that the guy might not work out. Og playing RT tackle this year was probably in the plans from the day he was drafted and they couldn't change their minds until after it completely cost them the season. The next part of that plan was to move him to LT after a year at RT. Except the plan never accounted for the possibility that he just might suck. So now we're moving on to the next step in the plan of him playing LT. That must have been the plan cause that is what they are doing and they are following the plan without looking at what is actually happening. God al' mighty!

Williams barely played before and suddenly he's replacing the NFL's interception leader from a year ago. Then there's Bodine, traded up in the 4th to get him to be the starter and now we must live with him as the starter cause that was the plan.

No room to adjust much, just like our game plans.

Spot on.  My hope here is, they obviously listened to Billy Joel on these o line picks, it's been reported as such.  Maybe now they'll realize he's not that good?  Long shot, I know.....plus, who'll play Mikey's Christmas Party for free?
