    There comes a certain point where a team adds players they make changes at key spots including QB and nothing much changes. Last year was awful 2-14 no coach has ever done that much of a bad job here. This preseason especially last night i saw things that disturbed me. I really do hope this team turns the corner this season but at some point it may have more to do with coaching than it does with the actual team or players. Anyone think that with a few changes maybe a new GM/head coach and a few upgrades at certain positions things could be a lot different? I think on offense Webster could've let Levitre go and brought in Wiesnewski and Mathis the team could've had a better line after all they had the cap room. Also they need to drop a few mediocre players like McCluster/Sankey and the team could have a better running game. Just a few simple changes and things could be way better. On defense maybe bring in an impact pass rusher last time we had a good one Jevin Kearse we went quite far. Next offseason in the draft/free agency it wouldn't hurt to bring some in.

    I'm still pretty much sold on the coach. I think the player personal decisions was out of of wack. I think a more of an emphasis on defense in the draft should have been placed instead of being concerned about surrounding your new franchise quarterback with young, untapped talent, a bunch of rookies who already is showing to be a waste except for Beckham. But even him based on who they were able to sign in FA, I'm not sure was needed. I just don't get what Webster was doing. I can see why teams like the Seahawks let him go and upgraded.

    Unfortunately you can't overturn the entire roster in one offseason and sometimes it just doesn't make sense to let guys goes.

    Zach Brown is a guy I've never liked. He was a POS at UNC and has continued that trend here. When things went sour in Chapel Hill he went in the tank. Same has happened here. At the same time, he's on his rookie contract, is cheap to keep around and some has talent. That's why he's still here.

    Michael Griffin, as totally average as he has been, doesn't have any competition for his spot. We don't have anyone better and there isn't anyone walking around downtown Nashville who's better either. So he survives, robbing this team of millions every year.

    As far as bringing in an impact pass rusher, we just signed Brian Orakpo. You're probably not going to find someone better on the open market. Guys like Justin Houston rarely make it to free agency and if they do you need to shell out the biggest deal for a defensive player ever to get him.

    And who knows, Marcus may have not been the 'right' decision FOR this franchise. Maybe Webster should have pulled the trigger on the Eagle deal.

    Whiz sucks. I'd take him as an OC, but he's beyond terrible as a head coach.

    That's also an issue.

    We have some crappy players on this team, but Whiz was the wrong choice as HC.

    Damn I wish we got Zimmer, he's no nonsense and doesn't make excuses, his players understand accountability.

    What makes it a cop out? I'm not giving Webster a free pass.
