Johnson, Williams, LBs, the other CBs. Positional changes, depth, and salary dumps are probably what those amount to.
I am with you about O-Line. They probably should've picked another to compete/replace with the bunch.
Hopefully Hubbard isn't insurance for not re-signing Dunlap. We need to keep Carlos.
People in this thread who aren't seeing the value in replacing the worst positional coach in our area of weakness just aren't being realistic.
If that O-line gets whipped into shape and our RBs are getting proper blocking it'll make a world of difference.
Price should be fine. It's not like we're taking some 3-4 rounder. He is intelligent and can read defenses/make line calls/and aggressively block beyond LOS.
Chill people.
There is some truth here...but a lot of people are relying to heavily on coaching for what is on the roster. There is a lot of truth in what piano man said about not being able to coach players. With how much the nfl has schrinked the practice time these coaches get it is hard to coach them up. They have to look for guys in the draft that have already learned some technique. One of the commentators that was on ESPN that was a former o-line great for the giants a few years back was talking about it Thursday morning when they were discussing K Miller for UCLA. He said there is no more 2 a days and they don’t get to practice anymore. He said that’s why college guys can be great and it doesn’t translate to the nfl. The coaches don’t have the time they need anymore to teach technique to the players. He said the players have to take it upon themselves in the offseason on their own to try and really learn better technique because the coaches aren’t given the time.
