in almost every game where he has been healthy he has made a guy miss or bounced one off him and got us a first down and got us fired up and moving.

His importance in our run game cannot be underestimated especially with guys like todman and robinson who need to run to the outside.

 

Right now he is a vital part of our offense and it is not a coincidence are run game improved when he came back. If we can start running up the gut with new talent in the centre and our pass protection improving he can start to make more of an imprint in the pass game whilst he has established himself as a big redzone threat

 

Plus he leads on offense, remember him calling a meeting to get the offense together in the preseason. With more youth incoming possibly at qb, centre, guard and rb he can be a leader on offense,

 

Both him and poz have inflated contracts and if we were in cap trouble i would join in the whining about his contract but we are very well off and are a team with very few firm starters. To cut him right now doesn't make sense as he is a strength not a weakness for us.

 

When we can afford to loose solid starters we ask him to renegotiate or if we have someone to replace him, right now it's just not a priority.
