much money into our weapons. Never know though, we said we also wanted to bring back our own this FA but that may have meant
our big guys and not the smaller ones. Bell was really the only one who was a big time starter for us that was unexpected. We can
still upgrade where we lost players and maybe even get players at a bargain the longer we wait.
With Tee I think we have to act like we are bringing him back, even if we aren't. It is a good strategy that could end in a nice trade
for us and adding somewhere else which could help the team even more. Putting all your money into 1 basket should only be used
on the QB that takes you to the promised land for the most part and the trenches cannot be ignored in front of him.
We have been trying to build up the OL and I thought did well last year, was starting to really work until LC went down, now we need
to add a RT to keep that going. The interior is no longer a problem. In the end we will have to wait and see, Tee helps on those deep
fades down the sideline and he is one of the best at this but he also has been banged up at times and this can be a big gamble if we
do pay him big dough.
The line did play better. But the injuries showed we don't have much depth and Collins was pretty bad before he went down. People that cover the Bengals were pretty blah on Volson as well. I was really hoping we might try and bring someone in that could be an improvement over Volson. Or maybe a RT and then draft a early mid Rd guard for depth or possible starter. Now I think we are stuck on drafting a RT in Rd 1 which isn't bad but BPA would be good especially losing players.
