For those who missed it, Sheehan and Loverro (ESPN980) had Bruce and Scot on right after the intro presser

Thanks for those! It's always good to hear direct quotes. I just had to get past the built in snark of some of the questions.

There were some things that jumped out of these for me.

- McCloughan had said it before, but continues to emphasize that you don't give up on a young QB who took you to the playoffs his rookie year and that this coming season is the key to determining his future.

- He said that need is more of a factor in the draft after round four. More specifically, if the team had a glaring need at guard and they got to round five without picking one, they'd more strongly consider a guard at round 5.

- Don't make the quarterback have to win or lose the game for you. Let's get him some stud offensive linemen, a damn good running game, and let's get a tight end that can stretch the field, and a couple receivers that make plays. Then all of a sudden that one guy becomes much better.

- You have to be careful giving up on a quarterback too early in the NFL.

. Let's get him some stud offensive linemen
Got one stud, when healthy


, a damn good running game,

Will come back again once line is built. We got a good back.


and let's get a tight end that can stretch the field

Got one, when healthy

, and a couple receivers that make plays.

Got two and maybe an outside shot at a home grown 3rd one in Grant.


Then all of a sudden that one guy becomes much better.

Looks like we've only got two things to really bear down on for offense this offseason: Oline and a blocking TE.

But that is plenty....
