You have to give up something in order to get something. In other words we may have to take two steps back before we take one forward.

We can't fix this through the draft immediately, but if it is decided that GW has lost his unit, we can dump his players immediately.

I think that unless we see improvement in the last 4 games, it will be a few years before the D is any better than respectable. But our offense should be around the top of the league next year...so its best to cut all the dead weight (clarifcation: age) off the defense THIS offseason if thats the route we choose.

We can be a .500 club next season (playoffs with a considerable amount of luck) with a bunch of UDFAs on D playing with Sean Taylor, Andre Carter, and Carlos Rogers, if it came to that. But if we keep the D we have now, and are then only a .500 club, now we have a BIG problem.
