Our coaching staff blew it this year by forcing the issue of letting guys go and using early picks to pick up the slack. We saw who Ced was last year, he hasn't improved and yet we didn't do anything to bolster the line coming in.
1. Fire Marvin, get an HC who can open up this offense with quick outs, etc
2. Draft to need next year
3. Utilize FA to fill the holes- obviously Tackles
4. Hope that you can keep the guys you need on this team to make another run.
I hear talk of rebuilding, etc on here, but reality is the pieces are here and we haven't completed the puzzle. Instead, we tried to shove pieces in that didn't fit, we knew they didn't fit and we're left with problems.
The team is complacent, the coaching is lax. We let Zimmer walk (mistake in my eyes) and haven't been the same since.
If you do the same thing over and over again with the same results, we know what that is right? Insanity... and this team is doing just that.
I'm pretty sure that was the front office who let those guys go. The same front office that hasn't won a playoff game in 26+ years.
The huge problem with drafting for need is most of the guys we get aren't ready to start in Year 1...and sometimes Year 2. With a Top 10 pick, I believe you should get a guy that is one of your best 10-15 players immediately. That's not happening here.
Maybe it's the small scouting department? Maybe it's the coaches failing to develop players?
The front office wants to win...but only if they can win frugally...which I don't believe you can in the NFL.
