Picking a lead back, dealing with OL issues and more

Got to love Paul. In one breath he says, “Who cares about Wynn’s contract amount and years, if he is better, keep him.” Then literally the next topic he says let Cody Davis go. He’s better now but won’t help you in three years. I get that you are a mini-Felger Paul, (or wish to be) where you try to spin the negative side for literally everything but try to hide your inconsistencies please. The best part is you take little shots at Wynn until it is clear they are moving on, then you have something good to say. Your schtick is lame. More Evan please! I prefer somebody who can break a game down with no bias either way. Thanks all, excited for the season!

You obviously have a tough time listening and understanding. First, I don’t think Wynn is anything special at tackle and if the Patriots trade him I don’t think that would be a terrible move. My problem with moves like that is I don’t like trading players simply to save money. And that’s what that trade would be. I said if Wynn is better than the backup tackle, then they should keep him. Pretty simple logic. If Justin Herron or Yodny Cajuste is as good as Wynn, then trade him. I don’t believe that’s the case. And I never said to dump Cody Davis either. I explained the way coaches attack these sorts of decisions – as Bill Belichick has explained to me many times in the past – is by weighing a young player’s upside against that of a veteran who has already maxed out his potential. In this case, I suggested that if DaMarcus Mitchell or Brenden Schooler (two young guys battling for spots as special teamers) project as being able to help on defense down the road, then the coaches might see more value in that since Davis clearly does not factor in on defense. Again, a pretty simple line of thought. (Unless you have a bias against the person giving the thought). When it comes to money and salaries, I’m extremely consistent. It almost never matters to me because it’s not a hard cap. So I don’t like to make my decisions…
