opinion that McDonald/Wright/Francies would be much better if they had ANYONE helping

them out at safety. I have never been a fan of Brodney Pool. He make 1 or 2 plays a year

and lives off that. Abe Elam?? You could have fooled me that he was even on the team this

year. I heard his name yesterday for one of the few times this year.Talk about a player

having NO impact on the game......

The defense has some possibilties if we can get 2 safeties that can play. Rogers, D'Qwell,

and Wimbley (he has been playing better and I DID like the shot he got penalized for

against Cutler) can play. The defensive line is servicable. We could use a big time pass rusher.

We still need 2 LBs (see Clay Mathews Jr.,Rey Malaluga who we bypassed).As I said before

Wright and McDonald are decent even if they can't tackle.

The offense is another story. That is one big mess. Thomas,Steinbach,and Mack are keepers--

the rest can go.

Build this team on defense. It is closer than the offense on this teamm to being respectable.

Of course there are 31 other teams whose offense if better than ours. Build the defense and

win ugly like the Ravens did with Dilfer at QB.

OL has gone down hill. Got to get a RT to stabilize the right side. There are no skilled position players on this team that could start for for any contender in the NFL (I count Cribbs as a special teams player, not a skilled position player).

DBs are pathetic. Wright is the only above average player. Need a shut down corner and a safety that can tackle and at least cover a TE. Elam is a decent backup at best and Pool couldn't tackle me in the open field.

There is some promise in the young LBs but so far that is it. No impact players. Wimbley has improved.

DL is solid..........................that's about the best you can say about this team.

So..................................can we get a shut down corner, a safety, a impact ILB & OLB, a TE, a RB and a QB. And we could probably use a veteran WR while we see if the draftees we took this year can cut it.
