Kool Aid with a touch of vodka
Yes a extra veteran CB would be nice and a veteran big-play WR but what this team needs is a BIG DT that will allow Vandenbosch, Bryant, Johnson and Pace to do some damage. When Eric Swann was young, the guy was a monster that made the whole defense better. We need a big plug in the middle that could use up double teams and free up the whole defense. I don't know what a McGlockton or Wilkenson has left in the tank but we need a huge pressence in the middle. Someone to bottle up running lanes. Bell showed some potential but Davis clearly isn't the big DT needed for the job. Tanner was resigned for this purpose but he probably will never progress anymore than he has already shown. The team has tried with players like Dwyer and Fatafehi but they just lack the agility and mean streak to go with their size. Gilbert Brown, when he had some fire and kept his weight somewhat in check gave the Packers this edge. We need a large big boy that takes away the inside, someone that will bullrush or just control the point of attack. I honestly feel that is the key to the puzzle, maybe Jimmy Kennedy could have provided that main element? We need a wall in the center of the line that allows the flood gates to break open.
....We at this point are 6-10 waiting to happen...I'm not sure we can get any better with what is available or will be after June 1st. Thats why I feel our draft as well as losing Colvin is a major disappointment. In the secondary all we did is trade production from Klass to Jackson and added depth to ageing linebackers(Mac & Darling) whom I don't feel is an upgrade over the old guy we got rid of. We are most certainly more than just a "Fat Ass in the middle" from being a competitive group. We will have to have overachieving S.O.B's again just to stay out of the celler. WoW!!! Now thats fun to watch:confused. I think the roster looks like this with at least one or two overachievers making the squad from the undraftees or late guys: Offense. Blake ,Mcowan,QB Smith, Shipp, Hodgins, RB with maybe Scobey. The line looks like: Shelton, Kendell ,Starkey (or a retread), Big, Clement with Dish, Roundtree and Spikes as backups. Maybe Garcia or a rookie on the squad. Wr's are Bolden, Johnson, Mcaddley, Gilmore, Kasper and maybe one more? This group particularly strikes fear. Thank goodness for Sully he might get hazardous duty pay when it's all said and done. WE might need a backup full back but that is our O. Anyone want to take a stab at how this group avgs 20 pts a game? It's beyond me. The Defense looks like this: KVB, Bryant, Davis, Wakefield, Johnson , Bell, Tanner, Pace, & maybe King. Not exactly the running of the Bulls but I have seen worse against the run. But can they rush the QB with any success? The LB look like Fisher, Mac, Thompson, Woods, Hayes & Darling. This is the Strength of the team
