Is Janis available? Maybe without McCarthy's strategy. Janis would do well? Run Janis Run!!! He's not a smart man, but he knows what a post pattern is. Offense is like a box of chocolates. This idea just jumped up and bit me.
But seriously. Our wr corps needs another veteran to replace Cobb. Cheaper veteran who was once good. But only needs to ne good once in a while.
I see Jimmy Graham starting to come around the last couple games. I think he will become what we had hoped, by the end of next year... Along with young wrs climbing the ladder. We would be back to stacked...
I loved the addition of mercedes Lewis. I can't understand why we Havnt used him. Our lack of production from these two TEs is probabally a lot to do with McCarthys release.
I'd like to see a veteran olb added to replace Mathews. Or mathews resigned for 5-7m would be ok too. I don't think we need two stud olbs. But at least two good ones. The young guys are serviceable, and should be able to keep the position stable. Perry gives us the potential of a double digit sack guy. But I feel a free agent would be wise. Rather than more rookies. Olb doesn't have to be a strength, as long as they aren't a weakness.
All positions can be considered for a day three pick or veteran insurance policy, if the right player makes themself available. But I personally don't see many glaring needs... Besides...
If Gute doesn't invest in both d line and oline heavily. I will be a critic. These have been our weakness for a decade. Since zone blocking, and the 3-4 came to town. We have come a long way since daryn college and Raji island. And the investment of Clark a couple years ago, and big mo wilkerson picked up. I can see the trend is changing already... But don't stop short!!! Over compensate imo. Stack the dline with Daniels\Clark/ Mo type players, and we will win. That's a fact jack.
And online...... I think the first MVP by Rodgers would have marked the start of the building of the greatest online ever built. (If I was gm) You find the hope diamond. Next thing you do is build a fortress to protect it. Am I right? Now at 34/35 years old, we have a patch work online every year. And #12 has been injured each of the last what??? 4 years?????!!!!! Never would have happened if I had anything to say about it. Oline would get a day one or two pick every year. Or 3x 4th rounders... Every year. Depth is important too if you want to do a job right. And build a team around an idea. #12 is the idea. And dline so big/strong/fast. You can't stop them.... And let the LBs and secondary run free to do the big plays.
Anyone know if mo Wilkerson recovery went well? Big guy like that might just call it a career. Heard he almost lost his leg... Blood supply I supose. Didn't sound good. We need his replacement if his leg didn't heal well enough. He was the difference maker. Losing him was devestating for me.
