PARAM wrote:Sure, they proved they could win a Superbowl. After you do that and then have a season like this, regardless of the injuries, heads have to roll. Both on the coaching staff and roster. The more, the merrier! Gonzo!! The replacements will surely be Superbowl caliber!! Bank it!
I'd start with Coen and Carberry, then Morris and Decamillas maybe Shula and the RB coach......and Snead!! I'd cut a ton of guys on offense, a couple of guys on defense and let every free agent walk. Then I'd seriously think about trading AD to a team like Pittsburgh. Get us a couple of 1st round picks, a couple of 2nds and a 3rd. Superbowl 58 here we come!!!
I'm mad as hell and I can't take it anymore. Blow it up with extreme prejudice!!
I think a lot depends on what is available. Fangio would be nice in our D system or even Brandon Staley if the Chargers collapse and he gets cut loose. Really have to question why any of the RB coaches would stay either.
On offense, we know that Noteboom is not the answer. He has to go. This is one that we need to hit on in free agency like they did with Whitworth. A stud LT is a must. We also need one more quality IL to shore up our ranks. Some of the guys we have now (Shelton, Bruss etc.) can fill in and be viable injury replacements.
QB: Wolford and Perkins, gonzo. We need a quality backup who has been a starter. An Andy Dalton kind of guy. (Or Colt McCoy which McVay apparently gave away.) Shit, Joe Flacco would be an upgrade.
RBs: Akers is gonzo. Henderson good back-up/depth. We need help!!!!
WR: That goof Atwell needs to go FAST. We NEED a quality WR to compliment Kupp. AR is, at best, a #3. We screwed up lettings Woods go. Wouldn't break my heart to see AR and Atwell gonzo.
On D, we got hurt bad by the Donald re-signing. Granted, Donald is the best ever at that position. However, you can't tie 30 mil up on anyone other than your QB. it drains the resources for a quality line. They should have called Donald's retirement bluff. Having said that, they wanted to run it back so I get it. I don't blame the effort.
I don't think Donald will retire. So Floyd needs to be gonzo. His production sucks being next to Donald. We need an Edge.
Gaines is a JAG. Ok if he is cheap, otherwise gonzo. Ashawn is pretty good against the run. I'd keep him. Everyone else???? Gonzo if better exists.
LBs??? Good grief. Wagner could stay but get some help. All the rest could be Gonzo no problem
CBS: Yikes. Lets call out the elephant in the room. Ramsey is declining. He still has a big mouth but he drops key interceptions. Several drops this year could have changed the games. We would still be in the race but for his drops. His salary is too much. We should jettison him. After him, what exists??? Hill is washed. Our CBs are deplorable. This is a bad unit! Gonzo across the board except that some young CBs could still be developed.
Safety. A complete shitshow. Rapp gonzo.
At least Gay and Dixon are serviceable although Gay is a FA. We NEED to retain him.
All in all, this is a bad team. The loss of Whitworth was a killer. He kept the line together. The loss of Von was a killer. His pressure with Donald was able to hide our bad DBs.
THIS TEAM NEEDS MAJOR HELP!!!!!!!
