[QUOTE="TJV, post: 375861, member: 4300"] I would agree with you about Sitton, JoshuaRHuffman but IMO if he stays healthy, he's on the verge of several pro bowl appearances. When Thompson became GM the "poison pill" (a huge roster bonus) in Wahle's contract prohibited him from extending him, but that's not the case with Sitton and this season I am hoping Thompson can get a deal with a fantastic OG who is on the verge of being one of the best in the league. But you're right about how Thompson - and his mentor Wolf - view OG. It is near the bottom of the priority list as far as positions go. But here is one reason I think Thompson should make an exception and extend Sitton: Ndamukong Suh identifies who the toughest offensive linemen he's faced in the league so far in this YouTube video: [FONT=Arial][SIZE=3][ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGmLKPqzROA"]YouTube video[/ame] [/SIZE][/FONT] I have great respect for Suh's talent. I would hate to face the Lions with even an average OG trying to contain Suh. Sitton also provides the kind of nasty attitude I love to see in offensive linemen. And extending Sitton wouldn't be an exception to [I]Thompson's Way[/I] in this respect: He would be extending a core player he found in the draft. I hope he can get it done sometime this season. IMO Josh Sitton is exactly the kind of player I would like to see the OL built around, even it he's "just" an OG. [/QUOTE]
