One issue that we will obviously have to address is weapons because currently it's hard to find words to describe just how bad our arsenal really is. I am happy with the byron hire and am interested to see who he names as his staff. There had been some rumbling about Foote joining him, what would the fan base think about him following byron if he does in fact get the nod.

Foote is from the Pittsburg pedigree, expect aggression. We run a 34, so the outside backers are more pass rusher build (EDGE), we have Jason Pierre-Paul and Shaq Barrett, as well as last year's first rounder JTS who looks the part. Nobody really looked at Shaq as a premier pass rusher, but under Larry he has been one of the best in the league. To be fair, I think a lot of that is a combination of Coach Bowles scheme and Shaq's abilities, but I'd be remiss if Larry doesn't get some credit. Would be sad to see Foote go, especially considering we may also lose Bowles this offseason to a Head Coaching gig. Now that I am saying all of this out loud about everyone we are losing, I am realizing we are likely rebuilding so that sucks. I wouldn't mind him becoming our Defensive Coordinator if Bowles leaves, so that's my stamp of approval.
