If all things between Tausch & Barbre are equal, maybe even a little swayed toward Tausch, TT would still give the nod to Barbre because he's got more upside, youth & health. See the #4 sitch last season for precedent. To a lesser degree the Wells/Spitz decision played out similarily. It was time for Sitton to play & the negligible difference between Wells & Spitz' performance at C meant that Wells was better served as Spitz' back-up in order to get Sitton, the OG of the future into the lineup. IMHO bringing in Tausch for the workout is merely TT using due diligence as required by his GM position. On a personal level I'm thinking that in TT's mind there's still no way Barbre loses reps to Tausch. He may be signed for insurance now that Blackmon's roster spot is vacated but that's about as far as it will go, barring injury to Barbre. I'm still amazed that TT didn't keep 10 O-lineman instead of 6 RBs. The 3 FBs were supposed to add depth to ST, so why was Quinn Johnson deactivated against MN?:dontknow:</blockquote>
