I had reservations about Cushing from the moment he was drafted, as I would have had for Matthews because I just don't think a team should use such a high pick on a 4-3 LB. And since everyone knew of the rumors about both Cushing & Matthews juicing, I assumed the Texans would easily ascertain if they were for real or not ? Guess not though, because it now appears Rick Smith & crew fumbled the ball badly on checking out this guy.
So is our highest expectation at this point for Cushing that he can just stay on the field and play in a reasonably competant manner, or maybe even just legitimately win the starting SAM job ? I mean without the dope, this guy could be very, very average.
