[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 865026, member: 10441"] RT should be a worry point for everyone. Lots of ways it can go and none are all that appealing to me. Bulaga is going to require some cash. I'd say he's mostly worth it. He's missed some significant time with significant injuries in 2 seasons I think? The others he's always injured, but he also always guts it out and puts it all out there every week and is really very good. So without a season ending injury, he's been largely reliable even though he's on an injury report. I don't question his guts or toughness. BUT, you don't heal better as you get older, so how much and for how long do we want to invest in him? Could easily be money not well spent, or it could be the best money we spent. Veldheer did well in reserve, but he's battled injuries of his own and he "retired" of sorts and only played half a season roughly. Half a year and limited game work is probably easy for these guys. I remember when Brett was done, and even guys like Santana Dotson said, they ALL could come back and play a game or 2 at a high level after they were done but the day to day and what it takes to stay at the top and be there for an entire season made it impossible for them to continue at any meaningful level anymore. So while Veldheer was a nice addition at back up, a full season still be "fun" will he make it thru one as THE starter and not the reserve man? It's a totally different game when you're the starter and i'm not confident he's up for it. At this point, he'd be brought back as my reserve man that might have to start a few games to start the season, but we're drafting an OT to take over. Right now, both of those options seem better than what we have, which is nothing for now. Though I expect them to try and get something done with Bulaga. [/QUOTE]
