Re: Zorn says no on Cutler, talks Haynesworth, Hall and '09 hopes
Cutler is not even a blip on the radar. We have too many other glaring needs. If we had any intentions of pursuing him, it would have happened. Just like we are working out Sanchez, it is just a smoke screen. Our Offensive line is our weakest point. No matter who we put under Center, they have to have time from protection to convert plays not just 5 yard hitches. After a while defenses stack the box when all you have is 5 yard quick-hitters. Our defense was a top tier defense last year. No need to fix it if it isn't broken. Our O-line starters are Rabach at C, Thomas and Dockery at G, Samuels and Janson/Heyer at T. We need better depth at all of our O-line positions. If any of these players go down with an injury, our second stringers are mediocre at best. We are also long in the tooth with age at many of these positions stated. Our C doesn't even have an adequate replacement should he go down and with many teams going to a 3-4 scheme, he will be tested all season long. A smart move will be to bolster our O-line to make a stretch run this year.
