List 5 Specific Changes Needed for 2009 Success....

[DonHutson]

5) Hire a valet for Jolly so he doesn't get arrested again.

Yeah, but one of those stodgy British valets, not a good-timing rascal like Pacman had.

[DonHutson]

1. Sign Jennings
2. Sign a Pass rusher
3. Sign a "fat" DT to plug the hole4. SS! Wouldn't be a bad upgrade
5. Junk the Zone Blocking or practice it in training camp
6. Trade down in the draft to pick up some more top tier prospects on both lines, as we have all seen, if you dont think you need them you can always trade them.

I would also like to see this. Having all the quick, athletic guys is great - sometimes. But we play in the NFC North, and sometimes you need those hogs -both on the o line and d line to hunker down in the trenches.
I noticed old Grady Jackson is still playing on the Atlanta line and is a free agent. How much does he have left in the tank?

McGinn said Pickett played at close to 350# this year, and Cole was nearly 330#. I think there's more to it than being fat. A bigger problem is probably that Pickett played too many snaps (thank you Justin Harrell), with too many nagging injuries.

Ok I am sorry let me rephrase since it needs to be spoon fed. Not just fat but a guy that can hold the point and clog up run lanes. Is that better?

My only point is that we have a couple of those guys, we just need to ensure that we have the depth to keep from overusing them. Pickett has been a solid run stopper for several years, until this year when it seems he was asked to do too much.

We might be better off adding a DT that can provide a push on passing downs, keeping Cole and Pickett off the field on those downs, thus saving their energy for playing the run.

Is that better?

[Tony Oday]

well I dont think cole is that guy, I think he is just a fatty and Pickett cant play every down so we need another Pickett Type guy. Some one that actually has some pissed off in him. Someone that will smack a guy to get the RB.

Oh and a guy that gets 15 sacks from the DT spot too

[DonHutson]

Oh and a guy that gets 15 sacks from the DT spot too

Sounds good. Order me up one of those.

[Pacopete4]

1. Fire TT
2. Fire Sanders
3. Get a stud with #9 or IF and big IF, we trade down its for their 1st and a 2nd THIS SEASON, thats it though
4. Sign up Jennings for a contract
5. Fire TT... kidding that was already done with #1... rebuild the lines, stock up as much talent as you can there



we actually have a ton of shit to fix but doing it all in one off season is just not gonna happen

[texaspackerbacker]

Some really bonehead shit being spewed in here.

If we got nothing at all in the draft and free agency, just got what we already have back and healthy, we'd have as good or better a team than what went 13-3/14-4 a year ago. Keep the D scheme; Keep the ZBS; Get a better special teams coach; And whatever help we get in the draft and free agency is just gravy.

And get off the negativist idiocy being spewed in here--not that Murphy/Thompson/McCarthy are dumb enough to pay any attention to the lame crap from you guys anyway.

Most, I think anyways, believe that 13-3 was really a team over achieving and getting hot. Now, that can happen again but I still think most feel that we are really not there yet in terms of winning constantly. So, that crap that we're spewing... might actually have some truth to it..

I agree. Like saying we are 6-10 because of bad luck.

Bad luck, and some unfortunate play by backups on defense.

I'm tired of everyone blaming the defense for everything. Two games were lost because of missed FG's. Two games ended because of INT's. There are many things that we need to get fixed other than defensive players coming back from injuries. Oh..and luck.

The only thing that was a bright spot for us this year was #12.

Defense 20th, Offense 8th. Grant over 1200 yards. Rodgers near tops in NFL in yards, TD's, QB rating and fewest interceptions. Defense bottoms in the league in QB pressure, run stopping, 3rd down conversion and points given up in 4th quarter. Missed two game winning field goals. Average ST's. Yeah, we know where the blame goes and most of it is clearly not with the offensive production although they could get a little better too. The defnese needs to get a lot better. The ST's need to get a lot better.

[RashanGary]

ur right.. its on TED THOMPSON...

I feel confident it will be fixed as he is the solution to many years of problems at his position leading to his hire.
