I'm trying to keep an open mind on Bullock for now. They said during the game that he started running towards the ball before it was even snapped. Could just be a timing/repetition thing. Keep in mind he's barely played all year and he's on his 3rd team of the year. He has one more game left to make an impression.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

The Oline sucked out of the gate against the Jets. They didn't get much better. Andy got pounded more than any other season.
Bodine has to go. We need a new RT. C & RT have to be top priorities. I don't know who the top FA Centers are this year, but we should sign the best available. Otherwise, I think the kid out of Ohio State might be worth a first rounder, but not with the #10 (or earlier) pick in the draft. We might even look for a solid RT in FA as well. I think this team is still very close to being Super Bowl caliber. We can't wait to develop kids out of the draft. Unless there's a kid who can start immediately, I don't think it's worth our time. FA would be ideal to address the OLine. I know. I know. Mike Brown and spending money....
In the first round, we need a difference maker on the field. In Marvin's philosophy, that's just a given with any top 10 pick. The CB out of Michigan (the new Leon Hall) would not shock me, and I wouldn't be too mad. I'd rather have one of the top DEs or LBs, maybe even a WR or RB.
Today I'm TEAM SEWELL. Tomorrow TEAM PITTS. Maybe TEAM CHASE. I can't decide, and glad I don't have to.
