OK, so if no heir to Smitty is in our draft plans, or in the draft at all,then FA is critical

the dline is not far from being great.....just need a dt....what this defense REALLY lacks is a cover saftey and a shut down corner

[Sloth]

We got that way at the end of the season. We also got better with better play calling to on offense.

I agree.

we need a cover safety when we are in cover 1 and blitzing with linebackers. We rarely blitzed with lbs because we don't have a true cover safety. One or the other is always a liability.

oh and i think olb needs to start getting more priority since te have emerged as downfeild weapons.......

[koolkatluke]

ummm the only decent guy u got besides smith is olsen. lafell is avg..lol

and the reason why they are top 5 in passes for 20 or more is because of newton....qbs can help out wr a whole bunch....just like brady makes the avg pats wr.....but soon it catches up to you..

cam needs a YOUNG true deep threat. i like patton,patterson and williams for that.

None of them are proven to be anything better then Lafell. This is a AVG. draft Class for WR. There are no sure fire number 1 wr in this draft. And most of the time a good QB can make a WR better then he really is. You have to give the WR some credit for that 20+ YARD RANKING. They do have to get open and catch the ball.

You guys are saying the same thing the d is top 10 and we are saying the o is top 10 but the difference is we are in an offensive oriented division which means we need to build a stronger d to combat them.

no. we need to be able to put more points on the board.

the best way to ensure wins is by outscoring the opponents. put more on the board than the other team is capable of putting up. have a defense that's just good enough to slow down the other team.

that's fair because Anderson couldn't hold his coverage down on Graham or Gonzales. Godfrey fared well though. Godfrey needs help since harijuka Barbie was exposed too much.

if we can become top 5 we will sweep the south with a top 10 offense.

if we have a top 5 offense we can sweep the south with a top 10 defense.

I know it's hard for you to understand. But we could probably put up more points with better O-line play and Play calling. We pretty much did that at the end of the season.

[BigSyke]

lol okay... wish they would have got open to that endzone lol.......yeah ill give em credit but dont think that you are safe with these guys. everytime newton went deep someone dropped the ball. im talking 50 yards deep.

and those guys are not sure just like jerry rice wasnt coming out of a small school. got to take a chance man. lol

.

Maybe, but we still have to stop Vincent, Graham-colston-meachem, roddey-jones-rogers. Being top 10 isn't enough against top 5-8 offenses.

[koolkatluke]

We can have that with a better O-line and Play calling. We did this before with the same Wr corp. Do you not remember this?

[top dawg]

Personally, I am looking for a top 5 offense and defense. Then we can sweep our way to a Lombardi.

[Gin and Juice]

Considering that Gross will be a cap casualty, I think it's safe to predict that our Rd 1 pick has to be an LT.
