1. Start M. Hall from here on out. Only pull him if he is horrible.
2. Give the offensive line the Saints game to improve. If nothing, then changes should be made over the bye. I haven't given too much thought to what should be done exactly but I think changes something like this should be worth a look: Bridges for Kieth or Hadnot for Faneca or Bridges for Brown with Brown back at RT for Kieth.
3. Give Bill _avis (I say avis because there is no D anywhere near this fool) the Saints game, the bye, and the next road game (Seattle) to show any sign of defensive life. If none, then fire him and promote from within. This will do nothing to truly improve the D but a message will have been sent to the team and fans.
4. The team and the fans would have to remember at this point that this is truly a transition year and not loose all faith in the organization. Many great teams have had these sort of years. Its how you retool and bounce back the next season that matter. Just ask the Steelers who seem to do this every few years. (By the way I hate the Steelers but respect them)
5. At the end of the season, if everything stays putrid, fire _avis (if he makes it that far) and fire Grimm (if no one will take this overrated hog off the Cards hands first). A D and O coordinator overhaul, ala the Chiefs (Crennel and Weis) will be needed at that point. Perhaps a D coordinator that will go back to a 4-3 under hybrid look, which seems to fit the teams best players abilities, would be worth a try.
6. During free agency and the draft and depending on the new coordinators, find personnel that FITS the schemes. Most likely in this order of importance: linebackers, linebackers, and more linebackers, a REAL left tackle, a starting QB or quality back up (depending on how Hall does), CB depth, a REAL C, and a TE who actually makes a difference. Of course other stuff depending on who defects.
Sorry if I've overlooked anything but I am still a little "SHOCKED" by witnessing the execution by "ELECTROCUTION" of the Cardinals by the "BOLTS" today.
^Too much^
