That's the thing though. If they were so sold on Ogbuehi, why were they trying to bring back Whit initially? Og was drafted to replace Whit.
To me, it looked like they wanted Whit back because they're not sold, and when he signed elsewhere, they just said "f it".

Sounds like the Mike Brown of the 90's...

Even though I think ML and PA are maligned alot I think they are betting with their jobs this year
Seeing how Mike did not extend Marv...and he did not seriously invest in o-line in free agency, it does seem like he's saying "you wanted these guys in the draft, now make it work or you (Marv and Paul A) are out". That may be wishful thinking on my part though.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
