Quote:  Guys like MJD and Lewis have hurt their trade value recently due to injuries and lackluster play.  So, Monroe served a purpose for a team in the midst of a massive rebuilding effort.  It stinks, but it's understandable.  Hopefully it pans out. 

 

The thing that I dislike the most about this trade is the fact that I honestly believe our offensive line coaching is near the worst in the league.  As I stated in another post, we don't even know what kind of blocking scheme we are using these days.  Last year, we had an offensive line coach that was just as bad.

 

Had we spent a few dollars in coaching and gotten a Russ Grimm type assistant head coach, we could have at least known what we have and what we don't have as far as talent is concerned.  Our coaching staff is a bunch of rookies that are learning on the job -- everybody we pick can't be this bad where we just want to dump them for late round picks.   Monroe was one of the few players that I thought could be a key player if some good interior linemen were added to the roster.
