We could have kept Whit

[The Real Deal]

I think in order to correctly assess if OG is truly a bust he has to sink or swim as a full time left tackle. There is no way they could chalk him up as a bust so quickly, considering they drafted him as their tackle of the future. Giving an aging whit another multi year contract would have stunted not only OG's potential growth but also the growth of the organization. They believe in OG's abilities and they have to find out what he really is. You can't figure that out at an unnatural position or on the bench.

I think throwing him into the NFL fire at an unnatural position was a terrible coaching blunder. So I really think him getting back to his position, being in an NFL offseason regimen, and getting a full camp and preseason will do wonders for him. I expect to see a much better player. He's hungry to prove it and I think he will. Time will tell.
