Newhouse is a fundamental weakness on our O line and most people recognize this. While his pass blocking has been poor, his run blocking has been just as bad or worse. That said, our coaching staff picked him up off the scrap heap and the guy has done his best to step up. Has it been good enough? No! But I trust the teams talent evaluators and they have decided that he's the best guy they can find to fill in for Wynn until next week, when Wynn comes back.
I get all the *****ing and moaning about him because he's not done a good job. But, we are asking of him something that is impossible and that is for him to preform at at the very least, a least decent level. All the guys than can do this at a decent level, already have NFL jobs.
Newhouse has plugged a temporary hole and thankfully Brady didn't get killed. I hold no ill will against him for the organization asking him to do something he doesn't have the tools to do. How can you? He was in street cloths 2 months ago. If you want to complain about why we were left with Newhouse as the only alternative when Wynn went down, that to me is a legitimate complaint and certainly an interesting discussion topic.
