Very frustrating. After spending 4 hours on what should have only taken me 30 minutes, I am unable to end the story with what I intended. The new format makes it very difficult to edit because of the requirement to include tags and somehow because of those tags, my last two concluding paragraphs disappeared and are not included. Even this comment I am unable to include in the story and instead have to put it in the comment section.

we did nothing to address DT and that alone angers me greatly. The draft also wasn’t very good because we drafted way too many pass rushers. I mean come on, we picked people like Norris and Sulak when we could have got a great run stopping DT in Terrance Taylor.

i think that the coaching upgrades especially at QB coach and DC are huge upgrades also all the players that seem to be great special teams players like some of the draft class (norris and sulak) and re signed players (Ekijuba) i think thats a part of our game were goin to excell at and thats important also the HC is emphasizing leadership and thats the difference in the NFL those things like character,intangibles whatever u wanna call it at this level the talent is so close its pretty much those minor thinks that set teams apart thats y great teams underachieve and poor teams overachieve week to week its all confidence those unquantifieable things heart, etc.

Could have gotten some players of need here and there but, overall it was a good off season with a new mentality.

I gave it a “C” and it would be a low “C” because we didn’t address the oustside linebacker position and I don’t think we did enough to improve at safety. No matter what you do at safety, though, could recoup the loss of Gibril Wilson. The draft, I thought, was poor and the free agent signings were pretty elementary, so I gave it it an average grade. If we had gone out and improved the defensive line and the linebackers, I would’ve given it a “B” and if we had done something really drastic to improve the team, I would’ve given it an “A” overall. That’s why I gave it a “C” instead.

Every move made sense to me. The only loss that still stick in my head is Gibril Wilson, but that boy always screwed us up in pass coverage. Now we got Mitchell who looks decent in pass coverage with his range and speed.

B+ now with the Ellis add. I like this move as the pass rush was one of the major problems with our team last year. I do have to wonder if this is the first step to trading Burgess.
