    We were mediocre on both sides of the ball this yr. We were ranked 17th in total offense and 19th in total defense.

    Looking inside the numbers further we were ranked 31st in rushing offense and 24th in rushing defense.

    This tells me that we have got to get better inside on both sides of the ball.

    I think we need to not only improve on the players that we have but also tweek the scheme.

    Use FA to fill those holes and use the draft to take impact players.

    Agreed. I would be for replacing all 3 of the interior O-lineman. I also think we just need 1 more DT to pair with Casey and perhaps another DE for some pass rush and we will be much better.

    I would not change too much on either side of the ball. Remember; this was the first season where Williams, Hawkins and Cook had to play sufficient time. Those guys weren't suppose to be counted on. Jones, Morgan, Klug, Casey, and McCarthy were all new to this years scheme.

    Replacing Griffin with a real FS and getting a real Center should do it for us. I'd say let Harris & Scott walk, move Amano back to Guard, and draft a center and guard early. Also hire a free agent to compete for an O-Line gig.

    Harris has one year left on his deal so he will be here next season. More than likely he will start since Scott is leaving and maybe a rookie or Velasco steps in there.

    I do think Amano was underrated at OG and much better there than C so maybe they can find a new C and let Amano, Velasco and Harris fight it out for the two OG spots. Not sure what is available in FA or the draft but if we could find a solid long term answer at C things might improve right away.

    There's several routes we could take to fix the O-Line, just depends on who re-signs with their current teams. The draft is where Id go for our next center though.

    The KFFL site has these centers listed as free agents

    Todd McClure
    Scott Wells
    Casey Wiegmann
    Dan Koppen
    Nick Hardwick

    I'd like to see us bring the local boy Wells back home.
