You know, he was like the swiss army knife of offensive linemen. What about the guy that was Cook's backup? You know, the one that was supposed to take over and set the league on fire? As far as I can see, Westerman is no different than any of the other also rans, he just happens to be lousy at more than one spot, sort of like Will Ferrell look a like.
I totally understand where you're coming from as far as the fact that he is unproven. As it stands right now he can't hold a candle to Z because he hasn't produced in an NFL offense like Z has. But what happens when Z demands big bucks? We all know how the Bengals feel about lineman who aren't offensive tackles. I hope he we keep him around but not if it means breaking the bank. From that perspective we are hoping that Westerman continues to develop well because he showed some promise this preseason.
