The writer refers to Jake long a right tackle, but later discusses how Carey should thrive now that he is moving back to the right side.
He also calls Smiley a left tackle.
Other than that, the author is right.
Low risk with the possibility of high reward and the experience factor is not something that I had considered.
The McKinney signing was definitely a smart one especially provided he can stay healthy and return to that almost Pro Bowl-caliber performance he had earlier in his career.
Thanks for the link, good read. This was a nice signing by BP, no downside to it. But count me in the "fans who want the rookies to start" category. We won't win more than 5-6 games anyway next season, so I say start Murphy at RG next to Carey (I want Smiley at LG to help Jake in his rookie year) and let our VERY young team gel/learn/grow together next year while we can afford them to. That way they're ready to kick butt in 2009.
I thought it was a good signing.Low risk with high potential upside .There will be times when the rookies will be lost and look for direction .Its good to have a veteran to show them the right way.
Carey is low key in personality but can help guys on his side and Mc Kinney on his side.
I like the signing.
I was just concerned when I first saw the headline a few days ago that we had went out and got Seth McKinney back.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I found out it was Steve.
Anyone know if there's a relation there?
