The future of the Team?

Why does everyone think that if Fox was fired Cowher would come in and blow this team up? We are actually pretty well off at some key positions.

Our O-line is fine and will be together for a while with young players at Center(Kalil), LG(Wharton), RT(Otah), and not to mention an All-Pro LT(Gross).

Same goes with out RB's as DWill, and Stewart are both young and amazing.

The key overhaul would have to come at the Quarterback position, and WR's. I know Smith is amazing, but i think if we could add value to our club with a young QB in the first round by trading Smith it might be something our club needs for the future. Face it, we aren't winning the Super Bowl in the next 2-3 years. Smith will be 33 by than and will have surely lost a step, its the nature of the game. Moose will be long gone...and Jarrett and Moore arent likely to be kept around unless Jarrett actually catches something this year. We can get a young QB and build a young WR core around him, maybe grab a veteran somewhere along the line, but we dont need someone as good as Smitty, we are a Smash Mouth team...

Offensively thats were we stand. Defensively it's the D-Line that needs an overhaul. Everett Brown will start replacing Peppers who must either be traded or let go. Our DT's are either unheard of, or are old. How did we go from such a dominating D-Line to the poo we are putting on the field right now! Tyler Brayton, Damione Lewis used to be Rucker and Jenkins! This has to change. 3 out of the 4 positions on our D-Line are well below average right now and the one bright spot will be gone and replaced with a guy we traded a first rounder for so well see how he pans out..

Linebacker is young and dominant. Beason, and Thomas Davis are gonna keep our Defense competative in the meantime, while we have to find a Diggs replacement sooner or later but this is our defensive strength much like our RB's on offense. With Conner in the wings, maybe a 3-4 wouldnt be so bad? Would it effect Beason that much? COuld Thomas Davis be our Demarcus Ware attacking QB's off the corner? Could Peppers even be better suited as a 3-4 LB, wonder what would happen there...It def. wouldnt be good for Everette Brown thats for sure...That would be a wasted pick in that scenerio.

Our Secondary sucks...I dont wanna make this post too long, but seriously Gamble is average, Harris can lay wood but is average in coverage, Marshal has a year to show me he can be our shut down corner, and Godfrey is mediocre at best, but we are young back there so its yet to be seen. Sherod MArtin wont even be on the team next year, he sucks..

I hope we are better than what we showed Sunday, cause right now the Raider looks better than us..Ouch that hurt to write..

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
