After a game like that season finale, it's tough to see the positive from a season like this. That was as bad a job of defensive coaching as I have ever seen. Haslett has to go...he just has to. I am convinced our defense is not "that" bad. Given proper coaching and a few additions to the secondary and/or Interior DL, we can be a better team on that side of the ball with a simple change of coaching...the entire defensive staff. Raheem Morris cannot be promoted.
Positives on Defense:
1. Kerrigan must be extended and give the man some money, he could be an elite pass rusher with some help in the middle of the line.
2. Robinson is a baller. He will fill in just fine for London Fletcher in the years to come, provided he can stay healthy.
3. Will Compton has shown he can fill in, kid has a nose for the football.
4. Breeland can be the best 4th round pick we've ever had.
We need help in the secondary and/or the interior DL help. However, I am convinced we can be much better on defense with a better defensive coordinator.
Here we are again, going into the off-season with critical needs along the OL. Our guards are as bad as there are in the NFL. Chester is old and slow and gets blown up at the point of attack way too often. Lavauo? He sucks!
I said it in chat and I have suggested as much in this forum...I would not be opposed to the 1st 3 rounds of the draft being used on OL. If the success of ****ing Dallass is not proof enough, I do not know what is. Our OL is our achilles heal, no other positions on the field are as bad as the Guards. Compton is not that good, but he is an improvement over Polumbus. There are 3 positions along our OL where the personnel we have would not start on any team in the NFL other than our's.
Looks like Garcon is probably too expensive to keep...9 million next year? Moss is likely gone, too. We will need to either feel comfortable with Ryan Grant stepping up in the off-season or find a WR.
Offensive Positives:
1. Alfred Morris remains one of the best in the league. Give that man an OL.
2. Darrell Young is football player!
3. Desean Jackson is the best Free Agent we have acquired in a long time.
Just one starter from draft along the OL would not be too much to ask. High draft picks for OL usually result in starters.
QB? Not gonna touch that one other to say, if we give Robert 16 million for the 5th year option before the start of the season next year, not much has changed in the front office. That is too much money to spend on any player with such uncertainty.
