Team needs

It is blatantly clear that we need a FS. In order of dire need: FS, OT (Byron Bell got abused), OG, DT, DE

Bell did not get abused. Our tackles were the only solid part of the line. Both our guards got kicked in the nuts, however. It was the middle of our line that was failing, not the ends.

The guards played like crap, I'm not denying that, but Byron Bell got manhandled often yesterday. I'm not even a Byron Bell hater, but the pressure from the right side was obvious.

They overloaded to the right, but most of the failure on that side was on Hangartner. Bell didn't whiff on anyone yesterday and only got pushed back into Cam once or twice. At least Bell had his hands on a man in front of him, same can't be said for others on the line.

We need to get better next week. I don't forsee making major personnel changes barring injury; we've got these guys for the long haul this year. We've seen the offense work efficiently earlier in the pre-season, we've seen the defense get stops when it needs to. Creating turnovers should be a point of emphasis in every defensive meeting room. The mental errors that stall drives and stop momentum need to be minimized. But because we're not in a position to do anything significant with our players, I want to see the ones we do have improve week to week.

basically the same needs we had coming into last offseason

Exactly

Ever since last offseason we said our needs were RG, DT, CB, S. And right now they are still needs. It's like Hurney ignores them to spite the fans and pretend like he knows something that any other GM in the league doesn't when really he's just inadequate.

Yeah, I'm going to say that the O-line is going to get one more chance, and then changes will be made.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
