Did someone start the off season thread?

Knock yourself out...

I'd just like to reiterate after seeing the game end that defense is an absolute must for us in the offseason. Nolan did alright but we have very little talent to work with.

On the positive side Julio looks like he's starting to emerge and take the go to guy role from Roddy. If Gonzalez is gone I expect for his numbers to rise even more.

We need upgrades at DE, LB and S.

Mike Nolan did the best with this personnel. I think we transition to the 3-4 for nolan, get olb and let weatherspoon flourish inside. Kroy did some work standing up so use him at olb. Get younger on dline. Im fed up with the terrible tackling of the dbs. Cut dunta, peria, and turner. See if Grimes will give us a discount. This team is built to compete for the next 5-6 years but that schedule next year is tough:whew:

Smitty is 4-3 guy and we don't have the personel for a switch. I don't see the benefit is doing that really.

Dunta played well enough in my opinion. If we can keep Grimes that is a big upgrade, we needed him this year.

Smith is already talking about it and Nolan has been running that his whole career. This is a chance for nolan to bring in guys that fit his scheme. More creative blitz packages and it will allow us to fill gaps better for the run as well as help with these TE's expose us. Breh, this personnel can't even run the 4-3:leostare:.

Who in your opinion deserves to stay on this defense outside weatherspoon?

Breh's let's not hang our heads on this one, sure it wasn't the out come we wanted we were close but foreal we are few tweaks here and there. The fans inside the dome did there job. Like others have stated we need to concentrate on defense.

Rise Up! It's Coming!

Did anyone think about Roddy on that 4th down play with Crabtree. Comes around goes around.
