Yeah, I'm not real high on Wimbley either. I certainly don't consider him the centerpeice of this defense, nor someone to build around. Again, we'll just have to see what's available, and who's in charge of drafting this offseason.

I do think that we need to get this win-instantly mentality out of our heads, and keep building through the draft for long term success. I don't think we're only a player or two away from the superbowl. I see alot of holes in this team, most of which won't be fixed long term in one offseason.

But then again I don't get paid to evaluate talent or coach, so what the hell do I know...

Alot depends on if RAC is coach next year. If he is, no way we switch to a 4-3.

If he is not coach, then we need to consider it, maybe going to a Tampa 2?

One thing to consider is this: who is available in the draft and in free agency. I honestly don't know at this point, and I'm not going to waste time look it up in the middle of the season. But if there are a lot of stud DE available via draft and free angency, that would be a good move. If there are a lot of good linebackers, stick with the 3-4.

On wimbley, I might disagree with you a little. Going to a 3-4 might be exactly what he needs to turn things around. There's alot of guys who are smallish that don't have any troubles playing DE (Jared Allen, Freney, and others). Maybe he just has too much on his plate as a linebacker, and the simplified responsibilities at DE may allow him to exell. We could potentially have a DE similiar to what Minnesota has, with smaller allen on the outside and the hog williams boys in the middle. Don't think wimbley could hold allen's jock strap, but cory and shaun could have a similar impact inside. Or maybe wimbley is just a bust. I don't honestly know at this point.

You can forget about Winfield. I live near Minneapolis, so I know a thing or two about the vikes. He is one of the "untouchables" on that team, along with the Williams boys, AP, and Hutchinson.

Chester Taylor for DA maybe, but I'm not sure that is a long term solution either.
