What can we realistically do this offseason to protect Cam?

this thread is not meant for sarcastic quips or petty one-liners but actual meaningful posts. We have problems on defense but our offense has put the defense in terrible spots the past couple of weeks when things were seemingly coming together to at least be competitive. It's a ying and yang thing as the 2013 team showed. Offensive line is obviously the biggest priority this upcoming offseason. Byron, Nate and Amini are not the answers. We may have found a gem with Norwell and Turner needs more time to evaluate. Kalil's cap hits are about to be ridiculous for his age. :-(

 

The question is do we have the resources to completely revamp this line or are we stuck for another year? We maybe in position to draft a blue chip LT. But this will be the biggest question mark of the offseason imo. I would like to keep this as focused as possible so please try to refrain from the obvious Byron sucks, cap doesn't matter, rivera can't evaluate talent, DG is sabotaging Cam ect type of posts.

 

For next year we need a LT, LG, and RT. Thoughts?

LT, RT, LG, speed at WR to open up the pass. A legit rush attack that doesn't require Cam to put them on his back.

 

i was surprised philly brown was deactivated. unless his concussion symptoms haven't gone away. he at least offers something different from the wr we have.

- Fire the coaching staff and get an offensive coach in place.

- Keep Kalil, Norwell and Turner. Everybody else is expendable or backup only at best.

- Might need to do something about Kalil's salary to free up some cash.

I'm with you Mr. Scot. We need an offensive minded coach. I like how Chip Kelly put it. "We don't care about leading T.O.P, we care about scoring TDs". We need a staff with that mentality. As a side note, I really do hope Shula is let go this week

Hopefully between the draft and FA, we can pick up some tackles that can actually block people. We get better line play, we will see Cam play better.

Cam has shown what he can do when he is actually given a clean pocket to work with.

 

Our defense sucks, but our offense is 10 times worse. It all starts with the OL.

 

Nothing is going to improve unless we spend a little money. Make some moves.

 

our defense has been put in tought spots the past couple of weeks. I wouldn't go as far as to say they suck (they're not great) but we need that ying and yang back in 2015.

Because of our cap hell, I'm not sure except heavily invest in o line in the draft and fire the OC

 

this is what i mean. We invest heavily on o line in the draft we will have a bunch of rookies again. That's another scary year. We need some more vet presence.

 

a blue chip LT would be a good starting point but we need some more experience on the line with kalil. And kalil may be gone in 2 years tbh.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
