Panic Mode

[samhain]

Panic mode is a stretch. We're only two days into the FA signing period. There's still a lot they could do, I suppose. Linebacker is still a position with a decent number of players out there where this team was very weak last year. Many of them slot right into the second and third tier where this team tend to be more active.

Now, if they are looking at the guys on the roster now as the same group of starters from last year, then that's concerning to say the least. The o-line has been terrible for 3 straight seasons. Arguably the weakest link, Hart, is guaranteed to be right back where he was barring injury. Perhaps a major upgrade at RG in the draft would help cover up his lack of talent and discipline.

When Marvin was let go, Mike Brown said something to the effect of "the fans have spoken". He's right. You can bet that they will speak again, maybe even more loudly if this new regime falls on it's face in year one due to having to run the same awful players on the field (Hart, Redmond, any linebacker not named Brown or Vigil). The family seemed to be ready to make some changes to win back some public trust. They've done zero to that effect thus far, but perhaps they're just biding time til the first wave is finalized.

We shall see......
