Just because we address RG does not mean we have to cut Scherff. The tugboat was a feature story in the PS because he got a cool nickname and held his own, but for all we know against starting caliber players he could be the next Bartch. I want us to be ready when Scherff either goes down with another injury or begins to show his age. I don't want to stand pat and be left scrambling for replacements when (relatively) unexpected events arise.

Turning to the draft if the right deal doesn't emerge - or to supplement what they sign.

Left guard is a dire need, Center is still a "hold out hope" situation but starting the year badly, and RG is a ticking time bomb with an injured 7th rounder as your parachute.

You word gooder than me. Well said.
