Did our team get dooped by a work out?
And yes I was not in favor of our drafting of Cushing at the time of draft.

Did anyone ever think he was going to be on the field in pass coverage on 3rd down? No SLBs play coverage on 3rd down. I said all along that 4-3 SLB is not a big impact position.
The only way he was ever going to be a 3 down player is if he could drop down to DE on passing downs and being 262 definitely doesn't hurt that.
