Cut Poe outright and schedule Short as a post-June 1st cut and completely start over at DT.

That means

 

We will have to draft 2 DTs early, possibly double dip rds 1 & 2

We physical dont have the roster flexibility to completely strip a whole position down to nothing.

 

Our OL is among the league worst and needs a lot of attention.

Literally our Only good DB is hitting FA and going to be among the most sought after CBs in FA.

We are losing a starting LB, and no one else behind him has looked good.

Our WRs by the #s have been one of the leagues worst.  So we need to find someone outside of Moore.

Is Allen the future QB?

Mechanism certainly didn’t look to be quad related but I’ve seen stranger things.

There are also free agents.

I think the position is already practically stripped to nothing. We're just sinking a ton of cap space into the nothing.

400 pound DT with a torn quad making $6 million next year? 

 

Can't weight

[pantherj]

If Hurney can find another Kris Jenkins, one of the best DTs I've ever seen when he was in his prime, then I'll be thrilled. On the other hand Marty might be on a sinking ship at this point and go down with Ron and the rest of the coaching staff.

If your going to strip the DL.  That means your going to have to fix all those holes through FA.  Because your draft (double dip) will be the DTs (not sure if youve seen the market for good starting DTs in FA, they aint cheap)

 

And while we have more more this offseason.

Your not going to fix the OL, resign Bradberry and Shaq, and fix the WRs with the pot of money we have.

 

Your going to  need to keep 1 if not both DTs and still draft a guy in rds 1-2.  Use another top pick on OL or DL.  Then use the rest of your space on Bradberry, LB/Shaq, and WR.

 

 

 

In addition to all that.

We're going to be a 3-4 team.  We've invested too much into 3-4 edge guys.  Plus Tepper is a Steelers guy, the Steelers have been a 3-4 team.

Your going to need MINIMUM 3 Good DTs as starters and 1 solid backup.  Your going to need both of those guys+a FA+a high draft pick.  Which is doable while fixing other holes on the team.  You strip it down to nothing, there are going to be other holes that wont be addressed.

We spend too much money on defensive linemen and LBs, but that's Ron's blueprint. It didn't work, and now it's time for Ron to go and have a new coach spend all that money that will be freed up on the right positions. The TD scoring and QB protecting positions are the most important.

Wake up, man. We're already at nothing at DT, we're just poised to pay a lot for it.

Seems like I remember this exact situation in the not too distant past.   Seems like it's happened twice as a matter of fact.  Drafted Fua and Igo's Allpro prediction McClain.  Then we drafted Starr and KK to replace Fua and McClain.  Guess who picked who.

[CanadianCat]

Well the good thing is that we should have some cap money to spend. 

The bad thing is we have A LOT of holes to fill.
