Top Concerns for next year

[Rambos]

Holt, will Torry ever regain his speed and explosion after he makes the catch?

Pace, will big O, play all 16 games?

Can we get our hands on a big time SS?

Will “Money” find his accuracy and confidence?

Can we get someone to burn those white paints?

[moloch41]

Are there any big time SS's coming up for free agency?

Kenny Phillips out of Miami is a hitter.

Torry Holt lost his speed and explosion after he makes the catch?

Torry Holt lost his speed and explosion after he makes the catch?

Do you agree with this concern or you have not noticed?

[jquarando]

Kenny p would be sweet but i think we need to get a pass rush. We have none right now and you need a rush cause receivers can always get open and Kenny p would be brought it to shore up our run d but its doing pretty good right now. Get us a sweet de or maybe travel back in time and draft allen instead of "no show" hargrove.

We need:

Coach, OC, DC
FB
#2 WR (I love Bruce but we need a guy there ready for when holt is done)
LT, LG, C, RG, RT
Run stopping DL's 2 of them, and one pass-rusher
3 OLBs and an MLB
2 CBs who are better then what we have
An SS and back-up FS

Sounds about right. I'm very jaded towards where this team has gone in the last couple of years, trading depth for nothing, drafting terrible (I like Carriker and Leonard, but Leonard just doesn't fit into this team, unless e puts on some power muscle to start pushing DL around) and keeping a Coaching staff around for way too long even though they obviously have no clue.

this looks like we need half a team , or a ton more draft picks . we need some key cogs , but a major overhaul is not the answer , unless it's a total house cleaning , and that would be a grave mistake too make right now .

[itsguud]

I do think we need to look at a house cleaning. I have not been impressed with many of our players the last few years.

[Rambos]

itsguud, name a few players that have let you down. That are still on the team.

[laram0]

DE's, OL, Kicker and Wr's

IMHO.

A few more TE's and we'll have a 6-pack.

I have some problems with this list. First one that glares at me is the offensive line. Could we use some more depth? Sure mabye 1 or two guys here and there. But you can't say we need a new line when the entire line has been hurt. The only question in my mind are the tackles. Inside we have Setterstrom, Fry/McCollum/Romberg, and Icognito. Pace is a huge question mark if he returns or not. Barron is questionable, because do we know if he has really maxed out or can he get better?

We addressed the DT issue this draft. We have Carriker and Ryan. Could we use better DE's? Sure. But we also have Victor who hasn't seen much playing time since Hall was brought in.

I think if we can fix our line problems, our linebacker problems might deteriorate.

We only really need one more corner back as a backup. Unless you consider Tye Hill worthless? I think that Bartell has shown us flashes of his skill and could flurish if we were to let him play every down.

My wish list:

DE - Chris Long (Draft)
SS - Bob Sanders (FA)
Big-Bad MLB
O-line depth
FB

Although, I wouldn't be opposed to finding another Defensive tackle and moving Carriker back out to DE.

I think until the wives and girlfriends of the players adopt the "you don't get any this week unless you win" rule, then we could be in for some trouble next year, too.
