[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 877724"] Yeah, that must be it. No real thought went into it. Here's the deal. A player can practice and play preseaon games with high promise until the cows come home and you won't know what you've got until you put him in a money game. So there's that thing we see a lot--stong preseasons against sub-par competition that fails to translate to the money games. Thoughts go into it, and the key thought is risk aversion in going with a known quantity over the unknown. It's not like Taylor was dead weight. He was a respectable starting LG, not somebody you'd call "good" at it, but adequate. You might throw a Savage into a 100% snap count projection after trading up in the first round for him with no other respectable, seasoned alternatives in sight. This was not that. I expected Taylor to start the season and Jenkins to get his shot sometime during the season, maybe as soon as Taylor had a bad game or an injury required a line shuffle. He could have been the starting center before he ever saw LG if the first thing that happened was Linsley going down. He was going to get that shot sooner or later. So, Taylor gets injured and it came earlier than expected. Lucky it worked out. Do you want to say LaFleur is a dummy? I don't believe that's the case. [/QUOTE]
