[QUOTE="TJV, post: 498634, member: 4300"] [FONT=Arial]This is good news. The best possible case was for Sherrod to emerge as the starter at LT for the next several seasons but there were questions about that before he got injured; now his career is in jeopardy. It wouldn’t have been foolish to count on him at LT this season, it would have been insane. Depending on Newhouse to improve enough at LT didn’t make any sense either. By far the best candidate on the roster to become even an adequate LT is Bulaga. And there’s a chance he can become more than that.
