Our next coach??

I still remember screaming at the tv during the last draft when Ellerbe from UGA was still on the board in the late rounds. he is in Balt now.
We need OL help more than anything, i think Rock and the newbie can get it done as a tandem in the backfield.
Id like to see us either move Landry to SS or trade him outta here, im tired of seeing him miss the ball as he tried to kill the wr.
Im not a big JC guy bit id rather see him than have us go after a big name QB in the 1st round. Im not sold on any of them,maybe it just depends on who our HC is and which direction we are going at the time of the draft. I believe our offense with MK,DT,FD,Moss and Cooley could be very explosive with the right coaching.

Wow, I think my head just exploded. Did you actually kinda sorta praise Rock?

^ Maybe but I'm betting JC doesn't stick around. Collins is too old. So who's going to be QB for next yr? I'm not a JC fan but right now he's the best we got.

Management must retain Campbell for at least another year, he would give us the best option over a rookie QB or FA. With a rebuilt line I think Campbell can be successful.

RB? You don't like what you see in Ganther? he was the Titans 3rd rounder a few yrs ago. I think he looks great. Maybe pick up a late rounder after we have picked up OL.

LB? yeah I could see us picking up a late rounder but would rather we picked up a true SAM and made Orakpo a constant DE.

He was a 7th rounder. He looks pretty decent as a #3 type of back.

oops, i meant Betts. :)

He's still young and probably has more to learn but I like his up side. As much as a Mason fan as I am I get the feeling he's treading water now.

I'm not a fan of Betts or Rock, but I did like what they offered when in together. What did Rock have this last weekend when relied upon to carry the load? 15 attempts with only 38yrds? Not the sign of a #1 RB we need.

I think Betts does better. If we retain him as the power back, pick up a large FB for goal line situations, and find a scat back to get around the ends we might be fine. Especially putting both Betts and the scat back in together. Other teams would not know where the ball was going...down the middle or outside.

Philly is tough to run on, especially with our subpar offensive line. Rock is a solid backup. Ganther looks like a very solid backup too.

I presume that if the CAP is gone we have 1 more yr to retain him. Hopefully I'm correct. Would all the tags not be available also, in other words could we use the Franchise Tag? Again not that I like him but it does give us options if we are looking into building the OL next yr and maybe look for a middle to late round QB that might be good. Then maybe next yr we can look to get the QB for the new HC.

If DS scraps everything, I can see a new HC coming in and trying to keep JC to see what he can do with him, and picking up a 1st round QB if we are sitting high enough and a good one is available. It just seems new coach's want to get their QB to run their offense, ie; Baltimore, Atlanta, Detroit. and if thats the case I guess it's ok since we would have such a high pick at the end of this yr. If a new HC comes in and even goes 8-8 we will be sitting about middle of the pack, not a place to pick up an elite QB if it's a small group coming out.

but they do need to simply have an all call to all OL to visit during summer camp.

I believe there will be two franchise tags available per team in an uncapped year

I wish they would make a long-term decision one way or another on Campbell this off-season.

Ganther, Rock, and Mason all feel like the same RB to me. Hard working 10-15 touches a game backs. Their contributions are important but I don't see them as being our lead backs ever. They're like Keith Griffin

(side note-watching Zorn's press conference and it's amazing how candid he is about what his coaching future is)

Bill Cowher is my first choice. Gruden might be acceptable if Allen comes with him as GM.
