I agree in part

In a best-case scenario, some of the guys we already have on the o line will do...but they will need a better line coach. How many times have we seen our players go on to better careers somewhere else? This line play, and QB communication problem is at least partially if not fully, the fault of poor coaching. All in all-I think we'll need at least 2 top tier, o-lineman.

I think we're ok at QB with Tanny- RB-ok, Ajayi is tolerable but could use depth though. WR OK. TE-Fasano and Co. are ok but I'd like a beast there, one of those safety valve guys you go to over the top, when the blitz is coming.


ON the defensive side-our D. Coach needs to be fired and replaced.

We need a new d-line coach- but personnel is ok.
LB- I think we could use an extra instinct guy there...someone that gets in position to make the tackle. Kiko and Timmons are good on the outside, but we need another- a true general and leader in the middle.

Secondary..jury is still out.



Here's how I'd do it if i was drafting for need:

TE
LB
OT
CB
C
OG
RB

But I dont like drafting for need, i always preferred BPA.

No, actually it doesn't. He didn't play any worse than damn near everybody else. I predict that we will see him again, and playing well as he usually does, like he did last week against the Jets. I must admit, though, he reminds me very strongly of Don Strock, in that he is more effective as a backup. Maybe he needs to get a feel for the game from the sideline like the Stroker did.

"some of the guys we already have on the o line will do...but they will need a better line coach"

obviously, and agreed. Oh, where is Paul Boudreau now that we need him? I'm not even sure he isn't retired.

"We need a new d-line coach- but personnel is ok. "

again agreed, anybody know how we can get Kacy Rogers back from the Jets?

MAYBE WE CAN BRING BACK OLIVADOTTI AND PUT HIM AS A OLINE COACH.....

tHAT WILL SHOW OTHER TEAMS.

"MAYBE WE CAN BRING BACK OLIVADOTTI AND PUT HIM AS A OLINE COACH....."

Actually, as I recall, he was a better position coach than a DC..but I don't think he was an o-line coach.
