While the optimist in us might think that bringing in an "evil we know", like Andre Smith, might provide some benefit to the team, in reality it may actually be taking steps backward.

Hey, being pretty good in run blocking is an upgrade Sunset.

After what has happened lately bringing in Andre could not be a step backward. He can play RT, RG and LT and from what we
have seen of Og we need insurance. Even if it is not top notch insurance, it is something. I think Andre would be an upgrade in
the running game at RG = step forward.
