Maria & LauRen Aha!
it is very easy to rationalize that we are better off overall w/D Mac than FA or rookie LT, but whose to say D Mac is not as good as Jonas Jennings. Jonas Jennings may have been the top LT, but is nutin special

Basically the teams protected. If he shows up to how he played his final year in San Diego they got him on contract without having to dish out a $10+ signing bonus later. If not then they can ditch him before the season starts without having to even pay the incentives in the case that Smith or Carey beats him out.
JohnDolphin73 said:I have to agree with most of these post...MacIntosh at LT is the better option and keeping Carey at RT or RG. With DMAC knowing Houck schemes, I see him thriving better at LT. Wade might be a good LT, but it will take some years of learning. I see a big hole to fill on this line and that the center. McKinney is not very good at reading defenses, as is howed last year. I would like to see use draft Wilkerson from LSU who knows Sabans system and is one the top rated centers in the draft. I see our oline like this:
LT-MacIntosh, Wade
LG-James, German
C-Wilkerson, McKinney
RG-Carey, Hadnot
RT-St.Clair
Swapping St.Clair and Carey is an option
Actually there was one other Rookie LT to start all year that year. Shoot can not remember his name... He was a first round pick, think out of Utah.stan marino said:Wade Smith lost something between his rookie year and last year???? He got owned by any speed rushers in his rookie year and gave up 12 sacks on the year...The only reason he made the all rookie team as a LT was cuz there were no other rookie LT's that started the whole year.

Smells funny to me.
