Thanks NESilver

I updated the Offensive Line post.

Someone had to go

but I’m a bit surprised it was Hochstein who does so many things well. I guess this means we keep four tight ends for heavy formations.

I like it

Someone had to go, and as good a backup as Hochstein is, he’s still a backup. Might as well develop the rookies and stockpile another draft pick.

I like this new strategy

Instead of cutting a lower guy on the depth chart with more upside, they trade a slightly more valuable player. A trade is always better than a cut and those roster spots have to come from somewhere.

We play hooky and head to the beach for one day… and Hochstein gets traded while I’m gone. Go figure. I liked Hochstein as a Patriot. Nothing should surprise me, but I didn’t see that coming at all.

Keep the faith!
