Quote:I think that's the crux of our problem. We where Bad really Bad when David took over so he went with the philosophy of tearing it all down to the bone and building it back up in his image. That almost never works, for starters it requires not missing in the draft (which we've done our fair share of) and hitting on key contributors in the free agency (which we haven't done very well). Any missteps in either of those two categories and you're just going backwards for no reason.


Blowing up a roster almost never works, you have to retain talent even if it's a just miniscule talent until you can find replacements. We've been trying to correct the same damn problems we had when David was hired a pathetic offense and no pass rush, except he added to the problem at LT, OLB, and then the secondary. While trying to figure out how the hell to get a modern offense and a pass rush and accidently creating roster holes at LT, OLB, CB, SS, and FS we've had older players naturally age and seen roster holes develop at C, OG, and K. Of all those roster holes to come about for one reason or another in the last 3 years what has he corrected? Hell I'm not even sure if our WR and RB are any better then when he was hired, I hear it but I'm not seeing it yet.


David Caldwell is the crux of the problem.

Yeah, you cant do a complete tear down. It sounds great, but by getting rid of guys like Daryl Smith, Knighton, and Monroe you essentially created unnecessary holes. Then you try to replenish with your own picks who, quite frankly, havent lived up to expectations for the most part. The defense is the better side of the ball because they addressed it more in FA. There's a reason you really haven't ever seen anything likd this.
