However, he will hopefully learn enough about Tretter and Taylor in 2016 (training camp, while replacing Sitton/Lang due to injury, etc.) to know if it's a good move. If he can I assume that he will go with those options. As a backstop he may need to get a guard in FA replacement after one or both of those guys get signed away.No one should be surprised by this scenario as we've seen him do it before at this exact position but he's also done it at CB (Williams & House departure), DL (Jenkins, Pickett), and others. He banks on drafted players to fulfill their potential. He's the mama bird that pushes his youngin's out of the nest to fly or fall. If they fly then he's the hero. However, if they fall he watches them fall and just makes another baby bird in the next draft. He doesn't steal another bird's young from the nest (free agency). How was THAT for an analogy?</blockquote>
