Offence or Defence

rdsknfn2003 · 01-26-2005, 04:53 PM

So what should it be this year offence or defence this year that we need to work on. Since our D was #3 I think that we need to work on offence. How bout it?

Defense

Add a DE and a another solid corner. We want to be #1

wolfeskins · 01-26-2005, 06:53 PM

the o needs the most "work" , the d just needs to add a few players ( de & cb if smoot leaves )

TheMalcolmConnection · 01-26-2005, 07:35 PM

I think both. The defense has improvement to make, because the fans AND the team aren't going to be satisfied until they are #1. I think the offense shares the same mentality. If we got anything, we got team spirit, yeah boy.

Just a couple pickups here and there and we'll be doing fine on both sides of the ball.

Offensive improvement is clearly the bigger need. But I don't think that necessarily means that we need to go out and break the bank in typical Snyder-fashion to get some offensive playmakers. I truly believe that the biggest problem with the offense this year (aside form Brunell) was the playcalling. I think that at the beginning of the year, Gibbs was looking to replicate the success he had in the past running the football, and he was hesitant to back off of that stance when things weren't working. I think he was working hard to validate the trade and subsequent blockbuster extension given to Portis, and he also wanted to prove that bringing in Brunell was the right move. Now that we are past that phase, I think Gibbs and Breaux will be more open to taking shots downfield and fixing the offensive problems that we experienced this past year.

Offensive line [center] and a big fast reciever, this will keep our defense off the field and fresh and propel them into the #1 D in the league.

Now this I believe. Cause Gibbs will learn from his mistake, and change them. But As for the D I think that they did great all year long.

But the O line needs much improvement and I think that will be the case when the draft comes around. When it does I think that we will get a good O lineman. If we don't then I will be the first to say I was wrong.

A better O will lead to a better D. Keep them off the field!

Go for O! Center, Blocking TE, WR. Other than that. Leave it alone. Add a DE on defense, besides that, just replace anything we lose!

rdsknfn2003 · 01-27-2005, 10:11 AM

Ok then if we lose Smoot who will take his place? That is as good or better then him.

MTK · 01-27-2005, 10:22 AM

The offense clearly needs more attention this offseason.

rdsknfn2003 · 01-27-2005, 10:27 AM

Well Matty thats what I hope for. We need a good work over. Or is it that the offence is just scared of getting another coach. Shoot just to change the scheem again?

MTK · 01-27-2005, 10:43 AM

I think the offense will be much improved next year.

Ramsey will be much more comfortable, the offensive line should be improved, everyone will have a year in the system under their belts, the play calling will likely be more aggressive, etc.

I'd be shocked if we don't see the offense drastically improved in '05.

rdsknfn2003 · 01-27-2005, 10:45 AM

Is that with new players on the line?

Daseal · 01-27-2005, 10:54 AM

Matty, I'll be shocked if we get past the 15th ranked O in the nfl. If we can get at least in the teens, we'll be playoff bound as long as our defense gives a similar performance than they did this year!

rdsknfn2003 · 01-27-2005, 11:01 AM

Daseal,
I think the defence will do better next year. They might be #1 if the offence is better and keep the defence off the field for a little bit. But the D was in good shape.
