Will Tobin and Taylor be able to be on the same page with roster?

I will say that it is easier to find sleepers and late round players now with the internet and all the scouting sites, but do we even have enough people to be looking at that and scouting the few pro days we can and making college visits?

On the topic, I think they'll be on the same page because I think that Mike Brown is going to tell Tobin that "this is Taylor's team, so give him what he wants."

Also, without a DC at the moment, it's going to be hard for Taylor and Tobin to even know what kind of defenders that they'll need.

You may be on to something. The internet allows most fans to evaluate many more players than back in the old days when we just didn't really have access to the likes of players like Kenny Anderson and others. Did anyone even know of Augustana College before Kenny? It ain't rocket science and I'm not particularly sold on the notion that a team MUST have a huge scouting staff to find good players outside of the big conferences.. Now it's a matter of a few clicks with a mouse to find players from small schools much less the schools themselves..
