Nothing you haven't heard before, except for this:
Hochstein makes the team and if Neal can walk, he makes it, too. What's the point of cap space if you can't win football games?

Very surprising that he would say that. I realize the rest of the line didn't cover themselves in glory in the SB, but Hochstein in particular was abused and it's entirely possible that if Neal hadn't been injured, they'd have won that game.RG Stephen Neal. A four-year starter at right guard for New England, Neal is starting camp on the physically unable to perform list and carries a $3 million cap charge. Plus, the coaches have long had confidence in his backup, Russ Hochstein, who is a year younger and is versatile enough to play both guard spots and center. If Neal, who turns 32 in October, struggles to come back, the club might go with the cheaper option.
