Its obviously early before the next game, but Its some thing ive been thinking about for next year. I have this based on nothing factual fear of chung bolting in the off season. 

 If chung cant go against ott, or if we have to move forward next year do we try and build around 4 imp ol? Doesnt seem like we have a lot of options for NI ol this year. neufeld and keeping have been out soo long its hard to see either coming back this year to do more then back up.

I bet Keeping has been worth it just from the point of having a guy like that in dressing room. Vet leadership and having a extra set of eyes in meeting room on sidelines invaluable.

Invaluable of course, unless you're paying him a decent salary to pretend he's one of the team leaders in the clubhouse but never demonstrates it on the field, then you could classify it as a colossal waste of money.

Think of it as an insurance policy. Seems like a waste of money...until you actually need it.

He got injured in training camp and the young guys were good enough to take over.  I'm not getting the hate-on for Keeping going on here...

Isn't that what a coach does?

Yes but you can have another set of eyes that has played this game 10+ plus years I think that's valuable. 

Lotta people in this thread who've never been in a sports locker room and have no clue how things operate. Keeping's resume gives him a ton of cred in the locker room. No question he's a leader who can help the young guys...

I don't even know what that means. I'll file it under "joke that I don't get" 

That it's outright comical that in the thread where we're discussing the (potential) loss of a starter people are at the same time complaining about the money spent having a backup on the roster.

Clueless doesn't even begin to cover it.

I don't think you understand that if players aren't noticeable performers on the field week in week out then they're human garbage deserving of ridicule. Stop taking the high road.

I don't agree. We only have a 5 million dollar plus salary cap. We could sign another veteran player for what he is being paid.

He hasn't contributed a nickel's worth of value to the team, either. He's had sort of a six month paid vacation. Like a politician.

I'd like to know Keeping's injury. If he's ready to go soon.

Whatever it is, its Keeping him from playing.

Yeah, it's a vacation being injured with the risk of never playing the game again.

This whole comment is absurd.

I see it's all sarcasm now. My apologizes

I wish there was a sarcasm font.

Never mind that. I wouldn't want to go to a sex party where someone who looks like me would be invited.
