Isn't Cornerback as Big a Need as OL?

Our bigest problem this year has been the big plays which I think we could fit in house.

honestly i think tryon will most likely be starting opposite d hall, he has made improvments much to my surprise. and i think he along with others just need a real coach inplace and we could see vast improvement.

and let's hope barnes works out as well we did draft him in the thrid round so i really hope he pans out, he seems like another guy with the ability he just needs coaching and discipline

and with our pass rush and hopefully having orakpo on the line full time next year hopefully our db's won't have to be top notch, this rebuilding is gonna take a while and i think cb's won't be on the first list of thing to do, atleast i hope notThis has a really decent chance of happening, and frankly, it's depressing. There wouldn't be a worse tandem in the league than D-Hall and Tryon.

Fortunately, I think Barnes will work out. I'd like to see Barnes and Rogers be given a chance to play across from each other with Hall as a swingman between safety and corner, and Tryon playing the dime. It would allow us to go back to the aggressive man scheme that Hall (and Tryon) can't play, and it would make our defense fun to watch again.

We might move Rogers as opposed to signing him, which would be totally justified at the moment, but the hole opposite of Barnes would be inevitable. Then again, if we commit all of our resources to building on the offensive line, and we can shove the ball down the opponents throat, I don't care if we go 9-7 while losing 36-33 barnburners for a year. At least it would be entertaining.

I honestly can't put any other position above or on par with the OL as far as needs go.

Can we all agree that Smoot is gone, or a non-factor? I think he's still trying to find where Hakeem Nicks went on that 20 yard dig route.

I'd put RB before DB. Portis, Betts, Cartwright, Mason, and Ganther could conceivably all be gone

Someone call Blache and tell him to throw Barnes & Tryon out there Sunday and see how it goes... lol

Honestly... we better see more of Barnes over the next 2 games to evaluate him for 2010. I haven't noticed him on the field barely at all this year.

Can we all agree that Smoot is gone, or a non-factor? I think he's still trying to find where Hakeem Nicks went on that 20 yard dig route.

You know what? F***you! F*** you and the horse you rode in on...

Sigh...Smoot's given it his all for nearly a decade now but it's time for him to go. Though I think we might get one more year out of him

I'd put RB before DB. Portis, Betts, Cartwright, Mason, and Ganther could conceivably all be goneYeah, but if the next coach ends up being Shanahan, the undrafted free agents he brings in will be expected to produce in those roles. And I think Portis will be back, in a limited capacity.

Think about our division as well...

NYG: Steve Smith, Manningham, & Nicks to cover
DAL: Austin & R Williams to cover
PHI: Jackson & Maclin to cover

I mean... has Barnes or Tryon PROVEN they can cover any of those #2s?

I think that some of our guys are young enough that they can still be coached up and they definitely need to put that work in during the offseason. However I wouldn't mind going the NE route and getting a guy towards the end of his career that isn't too expensive. If we draft we need to draft one early, we have enough project CBs, but I think that we have other glaring needs that need to be addressed early.
