If you were GM PA, what would be your plan for this upcoming offseason? for FA and the draft?
Football at any level is won or lost at the LOS. The reason we have lost 6 games by 3 points or less, is because our OL has been dominated & the DL has underperformed. Injuries have factored into the latter, but they still can’t make plays in crunch time. For starters, I would fire both the OL and DL coaches. This is the NFL, so stop hiring college coaches.
Absolutely have to draft an OT in the 1st round & we definitely need to spend money in FA there also. We need an experienced NFL DL coach with a HISTORY of being able to develop players because we need to know whether DRob can play & WHERE he can play.
We need a WR3/4, and we need a RB if Benson doesn’t come back & show something, anything. And while we’re at it, fire the entire training staff. If they can’t do a better job of mitigating injuries, then they should hit the road LOL.
I’m probably the wrong guy to ask about the QB position lol. I will always be a Murray fan regardless of where he plays. Since the current regime didn’t draft him, it’s hard to say what they’re thinking. There are pros and cons as to what type of QB best fits this Petzing offense. And who even knows if Petzing will be back next year? If Murray isn’t back, it won’t necessarily be because of how they perceive him from a talent standpoint. It’ll be whether they feel confident that he can stay healthy. He did play all 17 games last year, and his injury this year was a fluke. But, teams cannot consistently win unless their QB is consistently available. I’m hoping he returns this season, gets to play, and plays well. Only time will tell.
