Best at his disposal. You're only as good as your roster allows you to be. Fortner was probably the best Center he had at the time. Obviously we now know what the team truly thinks of him because they went out and signed a 10 year veteran in Morse. Who honestly was middling by all accounts in Buffalo last year. 

That's why I think we should honestly keep his statements in mind. They said they needed to get better. They at least did that by getting Fortner's replacement. I just don't think they're done. Their prospect visits would indicate to me that they've identified players from this class at 17, 48, 96, 114 & 116 that are realistic options on their draft board. 

That group of five was bad in the finale. I keep thinking of that run stop at the goal line that got blown up. That had happened more than once in the game throughout the contest. We absolutely have to get better next week in the trenches or this team is doomed to fall short again.
