Like I said in another thread, trading Arian at his peak & most marketable this past offseason for pick(s) and/or players(s), using the cap-space to retain last years starting right side of the OLine, and making Tate the feature back would have been the way to go IMO. Forsett and rookie Grimes could have been our 2 & 3# guys - good backs are still a dime a dozen.
Local 790 radio-sports talk show guy Greg Kock, who's a former GB Packers Hall-Of-Fame offensive tackle, says that Newton got the starting job by default since Butler is so bad, and he has even an even lower evaluation of the play of starting RG Caldwell. This thing with the OLine is likely to bite us in the azz this year.
Trade deadline is into October, right ? Since we are stuck with Foster and his fat contract, do we now think about shopping Tate or another marketable player
to help our OLine or roll the dice with what we've got ?
