Re: What positives should we build on?

Other than depth along the OL and a backup QB if Brunell retires/leaves, I wouldn't touch the offensive starters and I would definitely re-sign Dockery.

Defensively we definitely need to take a long hard look at a few spots.

At corner we need to determine if Springs can get back to 100% and play at a high level, is Rogers worthy of being the #2 corner again? And we definitely need to address the nickel spot. It would be great to find a guy capable of spot starting at the #2 when needed. Wright isn't that guy.

At safety we need to find a companion for Taylor. Clark was that guy but what's done is done. Fox probably isn't that guy either. Vincent could be a short term solution but he's long in the tooth and is too injury prone at this point in his career.

At linebacker we need to determine if Marshall can bounce back. Was he limited this year due to injury and spotty line play up front? And we definitely need to address the outside, can Rocky actually play? Holdman is definitely not a solution. I really expect us to make a splash in free agency at linebacker.

Along the defensive line is Golston going to be a long term solution, he sure seems like he could be. If he can bulk up a bit more without losing any quickness he could be the answer next to Griffin. Will Montgomery be ready to step in and contribute regularly in the rotation? Big Joe's days as a starter are over, but how much can he give us in a rotation? Can Griffin get healthy? At the least I think we'll make a move or two for depth along the line.

And then there's the kicking situation. Let's keep our fingers crossed that Suisham can continue nailing his kicks, he sure has a nice leg so if he can just get the accuracy part down we could be ok. That might be wishful thinking though. There are a few quality kickers out there that we could look to bring in.
