What would you do?

this season:
o Assess wether Chris Wilson or Rob Jackson could be an answer at DE

Off Season:

o Add some WCO coaches or assistants to the staff to help Zorn and Sherman mold their version of the WCO. QB Coach/ WR Coach/ Offensive Assistant

o Get younger and improve the offensive line: i would let Thomas and Jansen go: LT Samuels LG Kendall C-Rabach RG-Rinehart RT-Rookie draft pick also draft a mid-round C/G

o Get younger more explosive *I know this won't happen but: shop Portis for draft picks or shop Betts and Cartwright for draft picks; Draft a 'speed back' 3rd down/PR/KR
o See if you can get a draft pick for Todd Collins; then sign a cheap WCO back-up

o Draft a project(late round) FB

o Ask Jason Taylor to retire and maybe ask Phillip Daniels (depending on the cap hit)

o Draft a DE

o Release Marcus Washington; where's Gatewood again?; Draft a SAM backer

o Release Springs unless he's willing to make his contract more friendly if so release Smoot

o Re-sign Hall hope he gives us the home town discount

o Draft a cornerback project

o Sign a (cheap) journeyman S or draft a project S
