[QUOTE="BorderRivals.com, post: 457872, member: 6416"] Frank... you've hit it on the head with our o-line issues. I reference that a bit in my article, but it's worth elaborating. Our run game has zone blocking principles. It is not designed to maul and get the tough yards, which is what Cedric does best really. He's not a stretch it out and find the hole kind of guy. The only mauler we have is Sitton and maybe Bulaga can also be that in his third year now. Our left side is pass-pro all the way. Because Cedric is far from a burner, any tough yards he gets will be exactly that: tough. The one aspect of the deal I love is the contract. TT took absolutely zero risk in this deal. Veterans minimum and its reduced even more if he ends up on the IR. I just don't see the "high reward" side of the zero risk/high reward argument. Hopefully I'm wrong on that, but I'm just not convinced he's the right fit for our scheme. [/QUOTE]
