I figure he may get a big confidence boost (which is what he needs) against the Jets or the Titans.
I haven't completely given up on him yet.
Look at Gilbert. I disagreed with him starting yesterday, but he settled down after getting smacked around with those 3 straight sacks. I still think our run game would have performed better with Adams in there, but I am willing to let Gilbert continue to develop.

I don't think Cortez is bad. He is going through something right now and I would hate to throw away a player just because of a slump. Don't forget, he has been special at times as well.
