How good of a pass blocker is Richie?2. He's got baggage.  Is he good enough to make it worth it?3. He'd probably be a backup for us.  Would he be happy being a backup?4. He's a guard.  We could better absorb a loss at guard than tackle.  Patrick survived surprisingly okay last year, when we had our "all guard line" for that week.</blockquote>
