To me that makes zero sense, when he started at right takle we went 7-3. He played the best out of all of the line. I don't remember him even giving up a sack. I also see people high on Newman, he really has not done anything to deserve the praise. He didnt beat out anyone when he got here, and he started only because of Sherko going down. Therefore What makes people think he is a lock to start.
Archibald/Newman/Reid/Olafioye/McGrath
If Buono is serious about winning the Cup at home, that starting 5 gives you your best shot. Yeah, you've got 2 NI on there, but how can you not start Olafioye after his performance last season?
How do you not start Archibald and Newman after going through the effort required to acquire them?
Obviously, chemistry played a role in Newman not starting, as the oline was starting to come together as he was brought into the fold.
