it's really hard to predict what the new coaching staff and possibly general manager (though I think hurney hangs around) will value.

if for example they were to get a guy like brian schottenheimer (and hopefully his dad to DC) i could see them going AJ Green.

however, if they get someone like Leslie Frazier from Minnesota, it'd almost certainly be the BPA b/w DT and CB. Marshall is gone after this year, and they haven't had consistent pressure up the middle since Jenkins decided he didn't give a f**k.

I really like that lost post.

I personally think we take Patrick Peterson or AJ Green (or another SOLID WR talent). Obviously, as previously stated, Marshall is gone (he's a nickle corner, at best). Munnerlyn is a nickle. Period. And he's better at nickle than Marshall, which is WHY he is gone. And clearly, we need talent at the WR position. Also, I believe I called the Clausen/Gettis chemistry last week after Clausen was named the starter, and it seemed today that my assessment may be accurate. Regardless, Gettis's ceiling is #2, and that's with high hopes. Slot receiver is probably more accurate, and we need somebody who can replace Smith eventually and complement him at the time right now.

So, now the flip side. If we DON'T do what I stated in the above paragraph, we take DL. Whether or not its DE or DT, we need help at both, so either is fine by me. Personally, I think we need solid, consistent DT play more than anything (especially at the 3 technique, or for those of you who don't understand, the DT that plays outside shoulder of the guard). Hardy is a solid pass rusher, as is Brown. I think Hardy could be easier to groom as a run stopper as well than Brown, given Hardy is a little bigger than Brown. Just depends really on who we have here.

For some reason, I wouldn't mind having Charlie Weis here. Preferably as the OC, but I think he'd be a capable HC as well. Marty I think would have success with what we have as well, IMO. Anything is better than what we have RIGHT NOW though.

    • I can understand the logic. Going for 2 made sense the first time considering how far down we were. Then you don't get it and are basically forced to go for it the second time, too. Way down the list of concerns we have, IMO.
    • Rozeboom needs to get better before he's a JAG.
    • The successful teams in the NFL right now have one thing in common: Patience. Not just with their QB, but with every facet of the program. There are going to be successes and failures, but no one panics and makes reactive decisions. Look at the Eagles, the Bills, the Ravens, the Packers, and hell, even the (newly successful) Lions. All of them showed patience with their QB's growth, let their coaches do their jobs, have drafted well, developed their own players, and plugged holes in their roster and organization with players and situations that made sense. That's what we need. And if that isn't what we have now, we need to make moves to get it there. If that means they need to blow it up to start over, then blow it up and start it over the right way. If that means to change their approach from top to bottom, change it now. But the blueprint of success is out there in the league, teams just think they know better, or they don't have the discipline to follow through.
