- Get proper OL upgrades in the offseason. No more of this bargain bin shopping with Day 3 draft picks and cheap FAs. As much as I like Hopkins, he's still in bottom half of the league at C. His pass blocking is solid but he's not a good run blocker. Hart is the opposite. The guards are just not where they need to be. XSF might be able to solidify one of those spots once he's back but he needs to come back and show consistently good blocking week after week. At minimum, they need one stud OG.
- Replace Jim Turner. Whatever he's coaching for OL clearly isn't working.
- Give up playcalling to a real OC with proven success.
- Replace Anarumo or bring in someone who better understands how to defend the run and rush the passer. Anarumo is a DBs coach who has no idea about anything other than coverage. The pass coverage has improved though, which is about the only good thing he's done in his tenure.
I realize that's a lot, but it's possible to do all of that in one offseason.
Nice post, way to be logical and not rub it in on Sled. Was hoping Sled was right and we started winning under Taylor but it just
hasn't started to happen yet. Hell, stringing 2 wins in a row would be great at this point. Just seems this team finds ways to lose
under this guy and you are correct there is a lot of things that need to be done to turn this thing around.
