No wonder we fail.

Depends on your system and offensive philosophy. Sounds like Doug likes his big sloppy's on the nimble side. What he had with the Eagles was BOTH. Kelce is quick and strong, Peters was quick and strong, Johnson was quick and strong. We just have a bunch of guys that are barely quick, not so strong and injury prone.

Harrison is a good start in the right direction. They're going to have to find a LT in this year's draft in my opinion. I don't Robinson will take a pay cut nor do I think Little is the answer. I would rather see Little or Cleveland back at LG in 2024 with this team adding a stout LT on the opening night of the draft. 

Would prefer a Center signed up in March and then we draft another RG in RD2 or RD3 of the draft to replace Scherff while competing with guys like Hance and potentially Hodges if he's back in year two and ready to go from his rookie season. 

It's not an easy fix though, for sure. But, they have to start somewhere and it really needs to start in the middle with Fortner getting canned on the sideline. That's the biggest need entering this off season. By a landslide. Problem is, you don't typically see teams drafting Centers that high in RD1. 

That's why I think you have to get it done in March, followed by beefing up the LT position early in April. Fuaga & Latham may be on the team's radar on the opening night of the draft. You can probably entertain the idea of swapping Harrison around with one of them as well between RT/LT.
