They did the right thing. They gave him a chance to see if his knees would hold up. I'm an old fart, and I've got parts that don't work as well as they used to. Having things fail at 26, ...... I don't know what to say.

Holder mentioned that he was practicing through significant pain in his knees these last few days. While a tough decision it was pretty clear.....his knees are done.

I agree, there was little harm in giving him another shot.

Disappointing to hear but hopefully the team can absorb the loss. Mewhort was a good player for us. I hope he gets his knees fixed and has a happy, normal life.
