    I am prepared to hear all the fire tomlin and clean house threads but honestly this is about what I expected this year. playoffs and maybe win one. I thought since we got a home game we would be ok but without bell no chance.

    that being said looking at this roster we need a couple of defensive backs and a backup rb. I really believe we are close

    this up coming draft is huge for ben. his clock is ticking and we need to fix the back end of the d and some depth on offence.

    just what I think

    Clean out the lockers, close up shop, and just let things die down. This team played beyond what most of us expected this year, they had some great surprises and some let downs. The future looks good but then again it also looks cloudy. It is what it is.

    EXACTLY! The playoff game alone shocked me we made this far. Looking ahead, there are numerous questions especially on the D side. O looks ok, but the LB s and secondary are all in trouble

    LB's don't cover well, Going to need to replace Jason Wordlis whom I would let walk, not really high on Jarvis Jones either but his progress was significantly slowed by injury

    Harrison and J a Dub will be gone. Jones better be an All Pro soon to make up the loss, and we have no one on the bench IMO that will make the outside better tomorrow, so FA or draft is a must

    Well I think they definitely look uncertain. I think we've seen all that Worilds has to offer. We don't know what Shazier and JJ are gonna do. I think Tuitt is gonna be good though.

    I think the first round pick will be either a corner, safety, or OLB.
    I like Heyward, McClendon/McCullers, and Tuitt.
    Timmons is solid and hopefully Shazier can play and stay healthy.
    Hopefully Jarvis Jones and the kid on the practice squad (from Shepard College) develop into players.
    The corners are just ok and should be augmented, but the safety cupboard is bare.

    Cornerbacks, a tight end, Defensive End, back up running back and a punter.
