[THE PISTONS]

It has been widely discussed that Pollack was not a talent developer (not knocking on him, but it isn't his forte).  His skills were related to scheme.  Our new coach, Peters?, is a talent developer, and brings in new concepts in hand use, stance, leverage from the wrestling/jiujitsu (sp) world.  My conclusion has been that Peters evaluation period of our OL is long over, and the fact that we kept Volson says to me that he thinks there's something salvageable there even if it is just as a backup.

Also I suspect that Volson's contract changes are related to heavily incentivized version, and less base salary.

Volson has starting experience. We waived the other Guard.

Did we bring in 2 other guys that are better starters?

We drafted a Guard in what the 4th Round. Not sure he'd be better than Volson Day 1.

We brought in that long-time backup from the Saints. He may be able to start.

Then, you have like Cody Ford.

It's not like we're flush with options. Volson may still be the best option.
