Well there's a couple of good things about Winston:
he seems to have talent. He's played well before, he just wasn't a good fit in AZ.
He's experienced. That's what we need on this line.
He's durable. 119 consecutive starts. IMO this is the biggest asset he brings to our squad. Even if he doesn't end up going back to his Houston form, we'll know what to expect out of the position each and every week.
he doesn't have to block Kam Chancellor anymore, outside of practice. 8)
It doesn't surprise me that they released Bowie. Coming to camp out of shape probably attributed to his injury. This seems to be a pattern of behavior with him, and it's not a good sign when he comes into camp the front runner for a spot and flops like this.
I'm actually more confident in our RT position this year than last year. Winston will probably end up being about the same as Breno, but we have quality depth there now (I think Britt is better than Bowie is).
I don't seem them trying Bailey out at RT. He's going to stay at LT and back up Okung. If history repeats itself, he'll get playing time for sure. I honestly think Bailey is our long term replacment plan for Okung and all the reps he can get at the position are only going to help him.
