Offseason plan for 2007
Sucks to be talking 2007 in October, but that's the hand we've been dealt. Vote and discuss.

Re: Offseason plan for 2007
minimal -- consistency/stability is key.
I'd like to have some more restraint in FA this offseason.

However, I hope we drop our "consistency" because we're consistently bad year after year after year, expect for last season which now is looking more like a fluke.

Re: Offseason plan for 2007
Minimal...we still have a VERY good core group of players to still build around. I dont really get why its not working this year; but I think if we keep these guys around, JC plays well at QB, we could be alright.

Re: Offseason plan for 2007
moderate, we need to change out at least 3-4 defensive starters, and QB. the coaching staff needs to be pared down.

Re: Offseason plan for 2007
Any time you switch QBs, I can't call that a minimal change. I want to see them go to Campbell next season which can only be described as moderate in my eyes.
I want to keep the same schemes, keep the same coaches, keep the same offensive line, keep Portis, Moss, Cooley, Lloyd, ARE, Sellers. I'd get Rocky ready to play, maybe upgrade Lemar Marshall, play Carter only on passing downs, play Archuleta only on running downs, and DEFINITELY get a real good CB. But the biggest change I want to see is a complete shift in philosophy, getting away from acquiring players through free agency and start acquiring them through the draft. I want to see us acquiring picks, not trading them away. That would be a pretty big shift in the way the team is managed.

It's not like they haven't done a good job drafting both early and late. Dockery, Sean Taylor, Montgomery, Golston, Betts, Marshall and Pierce as UDFAs all came from the draft. It's not like there is even a problem with trading picks for role players. It's that every time we make a deal, we get far sub par league average value for our pick.

Re: Offseason plan for 2007
At this point, I have to say minimal changes considering we don't know how the rest of the season will play out. Probably need to address both lines, make the quarterback change, and go after a studly DB. That being said, I do still think there's time to gel this year if we can manage to get healthy and go out there and play like we want to win.

Re: Offseason plan for 2007
i said moderate, but maybe some of that can start right now. somewhere along the line the skins need to find out if Campbell can play in this league, because this is definitely brunells last season. lets see if our offense looks any different with a quarterback that actually throws the ball down field. and we desparately need a corner that can cover. a defensive end that can actually get to the qbck would be nice, also

Re: Offseason plan for 2007
the defense seems like its already blown up. so blowing it up again wouldn't hurt it. maybe Gray could go as the DB coach.
i think the offense only needs to change one guy. you can guess.

Re: Offseason plan for 2007
Jansen and Samuels like to run block, not pass protect. especially for the time it takes Brunell to feel confident enough about his arm and the recievers openess to actually throw the ball. and when he does, it's only a 6yd play so its wash, rinse, repeat over and over, and thats on a GOOD drive.

Re: Offseason plan for 2007
First of all, as frustrated as I am with this team, I don't think a major blow up is in order. There is a lot of talent out there in Ashburn, we just need to use it properly and add a few key components.
I think the thing we all keep coming back to is something none of us wanted to admit when JG came back...Gibbs needs a top notch personell guy running the show for him. Gibbs the coach is not the guy I want to fire (although the uber conservative play calling is becoming a liability)...Gibbs the GM on the other hand, need to be shown the door. We need a quality pro-personnel director in between Gibbs and Snyder with veto power over the coaching staff. Cerrato must go...he a buddy with the owner and you can't be friends with your boss in football, it doesn't work that way. Let Gibbs focus on integrating the components of the Gibbs offense and Saunders offense that have worked. I not calling for Saunder's head because I do believe components of his system will work, albeit with some modification to the running plays (play to the O-line's strength, which is power run blocking, not finesse timing stuff). The key is to have a GM with the final say on personnel calling the shots. Someone with enough backbone to overrule Gibbs where his personal loyalties cloud his judgement (Brunell for example). This would also hopefully fix our propensity to overpay for non-system guys who end up being duds. Wonder if Danny's dollars could lure a Scott Peoli type from the Pats? |
