What a great summary, Marv. Thanks. Would just re-emphasize the magnitude of the F/U on signing OL FAs and FA acquisition. Lynch and shanny did a crapola job. Not one decent OL they were responsible for excepting D. Williams (OT) and we haven't really seen him yet. Got my fingers crossed. This is now obviously our #1 job next yr, and i mean 3 all pros for OG, C and OG. Then we need 1 or two OLs (one a C) taken in top end of draft. That would mean not getting #1 WR , ILB, OLB , CB, S, as top pick, but we better fix that OL and i mean with super talent and backups besides. It is the only way we can field a team next yr. And the failures of lynch and shanny at picking OLs was obvious to all this yr. Hopefully darren Williams works out.
Finally, just don't get our potential FR QB hurt this yr before we get some protection for him. If no protection, DO NOT PUT ON FIELD, keep him on bench if we cannot protect him.
On the first point, Maybe none of the higher caliber OL FA's wanted to come here. I really don't know.
Completely agree on the final point!
This season is burnt toast and I want the 1st or 2nd pick in the draft. Any wins would jeopardize that.
