1. RT -- we need replacement for Ogbuehi
2. C- we need replacement for Bodine
3. LB - we need replacement for Dansby/Maualuga
If we could simply patch these holes up even with street free agents or players already on the roster I think we could still go 9-7 or 10-6 and make some noise in the playoffs this season. if we do not fix these holes on the roster I think we are looking at missing the playoffs and the Marvin Lewis era coming to an end.
I would've agreed on #2 a month ago but Bodine is finally starting to produce. Dunno if that will continue but for now I'd change that to: 2. K- we need a replacement for Mike Nugent. I appreciate his contribution to the team, but it is time to move on.
We definitely do need help at LB (we're still getting gouged in the run game) and RT almost goes without saying at this point.
