Missing pieces of the puzzle

Amobi OKoye....The kid has talent.He's a pass rusher and a run stuffer.He is a much better prospect than AH was coming out,and has a non-stop motor,and actually plays to his potential.He would do wonders for this run D,and put some much needed added pressure on the QB,which in affect would help out the secondary which only seems to be improving together each week.I'd still put Fuller or Lowry over LT next year though.

Games are won in the trenches,and we've seemed to found or OLine,and now we can improve our Dline greatly.

It wouldnt hurt to add a run stopper DE,but Travis LaBoy has been playing phenominal here lately and Sean Conover has been very good on running downs,and we still have Tony Brown,Antwan Odom,and Rien Long(DT/DE) but 2 of those are FA's,I think Brown will be back though.

Next i think we upgrade our WR core somehow...In round 2 we go WR..someone for VY to throw too...Tall and athletic...

They always say you build your team through the draft,and add some pieces here and there through FA.

But a DLine with KVB Okoye Haynesworth and LaBoy seems very doable.And with Tulloch Thornton and Bulluck roaming around at LB,things could be great for our front 7 next year.

 

adding a DE first would only hurt us. We have 2 weak spots in our Secondary at the moment and it seems all a qb has to do is take 3 steps back and BAM! Ball Caught! First Down! :ha:


Lets take care of the secondary first

 

Mine was actually a DT,and you obviously didnt watch the last couple of games,especially last week...Garrard was harrassed all day...if he wasnt so big and strong there would of been alot less completition.When your QB can run around behind the LOS,it makes it so tough on the CB to stay with the WR the whole time,especially in zones.Games are won in the trenches,and our pass D is bviously much better than our run D,so therefore we should fix that 1st.And we wont draft a S,unless its absolutley BPA,its just not Floyds MO...He drafts in bunches and the last 2 years we've taken 3 S's.They really like Fuller and Lowry.finnegan has been very impressive,but I'd rather keep him at NB where he's best.Hill's play has improved greatly,and he coaching staff has trust and confidence in the guy,but i still think we will add a CB somewhere in FA or draft.I think adding a top-tier DT through the draft would be a great success,but of course it depends whose there,and whose not there when we pick.

 

So how do you explain Garrard having 15 seconds before he threw the ball? I know he's big and strong, but that's ridiculous.

 

other than Tank Wms, who has Floyd drafted on Day 1 at safety.. Aric Morris was a 4th rounder if my memory is correct, my point is the draft strategy has been to spend the bucks at DE, OLB, and CB, all outside players...it will be interesting to see if we pay the DT' s or not... and I wouldn't hold my breath on a safety...

 

It seems like we've blitzed less this year, but I could be wrong. You'd think with the CB's in their 2nd year and the addition of Hope, we'd feel more comfortable to blitz. Thorton seems like a good blitzer, but hasn't done it much. Maybe the shoulder thing kinda hurt his chances at doing that.
