Hudson is every bit as important to the continued success of this team as Houston is. Maybe more. The dude kicked ass this year with a rookie on his right and the two worst guards in the NFL on his left. That says something.

I get the value of talented linemen, I do. One has to look no further than Vermeil's teams to understand what a talented offensive line can do for a team overall. But I don't think Hudson brings to the offense half of what Houston brings to the defense. Hudson is a solid, solid guy that I like, but Houston is a once a decade talent we absolutely stole in the draft.
Letting a Justin Houston walk or be traded to keep a Rodney Hudson should get Dorsey fired if he were to do it, and I really want us to keep Hudson.
