I just want everyone to remember one thing from 2013...

[jarhead]

Looks like the Gettleman love is returning.......which is a good thing

[iamhubby1]

Make that Walmart or K-Mart. Costco has good stuff.

 

If the OL can be improved anywhere near as much as the DL was last season, it won't take genius play calling to move the ball.

If this year does nothing else. It allows us to pretty much set where our holes really lie. Next year we may just have the money to address couple, not many, but a couple 2-3 holes. If some of the kids pan out, our true holes may be fewer and farther between than we imagine them to be.

But yeah, if we can get the Oline together. We may not be a bad as some folks are fearing we are going to be.

 won our division thus earned the #2 seed.

Why do you all still believe we need stud wide receivers? As Rivera said, we basically need to replace 10 catches a game. Smith and Lafell both dropped many passes last season and Ginn had a few golden opportunities. We are looking for guys that can hang on to the ball, not a Dez Bryant, Calvin Johnson, or AJ Green. The majority of our value will go to the defensive side of the ball as our game management offense can be run by so so players( see: Tampa during Brad Johnson era.)

With all due respect to Riverea who likely knows more then I'll ever know about football but that is a Kool Aid statement if I have ever heard one.  Hindsight will be 20/20 but you do just replace catches.  The Bills learned this with Peerless Price.  He left and we had 3 guys snag down maybe 8 a game to make up for it.  Those 8 just weren't the same.  A good WR is just different.

 

Of course, hindsight is going to be a pain in the ass when LaFell goes for career yardage, 1,000+ yards, 20 TD's, and all that thanks to Marcia Brady.

 

I'm going to go run and duck under a table now.  I don't think that the above will go over well.

Horton played some too.

As good as our defensive coaching staff is, our offensive coaching staff is the opposite.

Don't expect the same result.

Zod i thought you were one of the people calling for patience for the offensive coaching staff?

[Lumps]

I trust him as well, but remember this. Our offense is decimated. Last year,

our D had 2 very good veteran DE's, and a decent Dwan to help the 2 rookies,

not to mention freaking DPOY Luke and a fabulous vet in Davis.

We're not heading into this year with that on offense. We have Cam, Kalil, Tolbert and Greg.

all other running backs are questionable. All wr's are questionable. All guards and tackles

are questionable or worse.

If our O improves enough to win the division again, Getty deserves a big fat raise.

Again, he's building for the long term, but enjoy the ride. Something tells me he'll make it

work fairly well next year.

Not to mention an above average DC and defensive mastermind as HC vs....Shula.

Edit what zod said

I just don't see us running an offensive scheme that relies on big play wide receivers is all. Do your job and catch the ball. YAC is only important when you catch the ball, something when had trouble with at times last season.

[Rise of The Hive]

That is the approach I like to see!

Wes Horton play well when he got snaps at DE.. Another UFA

I wouldn't say the defense was better off.

 

When 2012 ended we had a D-Line that was OK but we were getting run all over by many teams.  Our back end wasn't much to be overly excited about either.  Davis and Kuechly were solid.

 

 

In 2014  We have 3 Pro Bowlers in Cam, Kaili and Tolbert.  A Pro Bowl Caliber TE an up and coming G in Silatolu.  To good running backs that can get the job done with a solid line.

 

Shore up the tackle positions. 

 

I think with the WR on the staff and who we will hopefully draft will create a very competitive situation and the cream will rise to the top.

 

Gettleman has an outstanding eye for talent.   I believe he will fix the offense like he did with the Defense last year.

 

The biggest issue I think this team will face going into 2014 is that Cam Newton will have to build confidence and trust with his WR Corp over a period of 6 weeks.

[Cpt slay a ho]

i'll wait until the season.....

Last year of shopping at Costco. From here on out, we shop at the mall.

Gettin' it together with the Gman.

But cereally, get me a starting LT, and I don't care what you kids do to the Offense. Double dip at WR, hellz, triple dip the mfer. WR and CB the whole draft, I don't care. Just get me my starting LT.

I agree if we can fix the OL which means getting a LT that is not named bell and a RT not named Bell
