I think you missed many of my posts early in the offseason. :) I was one of DT's biggest supporters when the signing went down. I've felt from Day One that he was going to do big things for us. That he effectively replaced OG. I've seen his highlight reel, most of his game vs Houston (and Aaron Glenn). I even saw him in mini-camp. There's nothing for me to understand. :tongue:
I just feel better having OG there for depth. Veteran depth. Same as you on the offensive line. If DT goes down, Chris Chambers becomes a possession receiver again. McKnight can't fill the role. And while I like the kid, I'm certainly not ready to throw a rookie (Tolver) into the starting lineup yet. I like a guy who runs precision routes and cracks back like a mofo. A guy with the NFL's best hands who's been there and is Jay Fiedler's favorite receiver.
It's gonna be fine this year. :)
