    I believe that all in all next year will be better, even if those guys are gone. With them not around, it gives the young guys... the future veterans... a chance to blossom, be themselves and begin to act as a team. They are all similar in age, and can relate to one another.

    They will be more savvy and will know what to expect at every step of the way.

    I think Keisel getting hurt may be a blessing in disguise. At least it gets Tuitt on the field now and he's the future of the position.

    Need some pass rushers next year, our olbs outside of silverback aren't cutting it.

    He got some pressure though. He had several chances to sack Flacco but for some reason he kept screwing it up.

    He did earn it but the way his contract is structured the team can save millions if he is released or retires.

    When your DE (Cam Heyward) is your leading sack guy in a 3-4 defense, you know you have issues. Draft at least two OLBs and two CBs. Then bring in several undrafted free agents as OLBs and CBs. We need some pass rushers.

    Yes, I know it sounds like a broken record, but we need to trade Ben to Tampa and get mariotta. We will be set for many years. If not, I would pick either a left tackle, defensive back or nose guard, based on BPA.

    What is the story with Troy's contract. I heard we can't just outright cut him, because a lot of money will be on the books still?

    Troy is done. Unless he rededicates himself in the off season for one last hurrah, I can't see how you bring him back.
