Hope we win out, but if not, it's time to put more resources into point of attack

[igtmfo]

Again. Two or three years ago, Jerry was blamed for putting too much emphasis on front-seven defense in recent drafts (Bill P. might have been to blame ....)

Hoping we win out, but ...

In case we don't, it seems like it's time again to put some resources into point of attack players.

(Off topic .. is trading a 1st round pick, plus a third for wr Roy ... like trading crazy picks for Jason Kidd ... well Roy is younger, anyway ...)

OL: OK, the last OLs we've developed (besides a nice Tuna find in Colombo) were during the Clinton administration (Gurode and Adams) ... draft picks have sucked since then and haven't stepped up.

DL: Spears and Canty, OK but not great. Ratliff has been pretty great, Tank fair as a Jerry retread, hope and a prayer ...

LB: Bradie, pretty fine, DeMarcus, super. Zach and Greg Ellis are at the end of their careers. Backups are old draft picks: Spencer, Bennett and Carp. Spencer (1st rd pick, what happened?), Burnett (good, but hasn't broken into the starter/every down mix as a 2nd rounder should) and .. Carpenter ...

Sorry, OT again in my own thread. But for backup QB: We need someone who can play. Here are the free agents next year ..

Charlie Batch UFA Pittsburgh Steelers
Brock Berlin RFA St. Louis Rams
Kyle Boller UFA Baltimore Ravens
Matt Cassel UFA New England Patriots
Kerry Collins UFA Tennessee Titans
Bruce Eugene RFA Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Charlie Frye UFA Seattle Seahawks
Jeff Garcia UFA Tampa Bay Buccaneers
David Garrard UFA Jacksonville Jaguars
Rex Grossman UFA Chicago Bears
Gibran Hamdan UFA Buffalo Bills
J.P. Losman UFA Buffalo Bills
Luke McCown UFA Tampa Bay Buccaneers
J.T. O'Sullivan UFA San Francisco 49ers
Kyle Orton UFA Chicago Bears
Patrick Ramsey UFA Denver Broncos
Kurt Warner UFA Arizona Cardinals
Anthony Wright UFA New York Giants

Off that list I wouldn't mind Batch, Collins, or Garcia as a back up QB here, provided they'd come here to be just that. Some of the others would nice too but the ones that would be aren't going to be looking to sign somewhere to be a backup, like Garrard or Cassel.

Garrad signed a extension this summer and I think Garcia did too....If Garcia didn't than he is at the top of my wish list.

Dude, spencer was the yr before lasts 1st rd pick. Relax on him. he will fill in fine when Greg retires.

We need to concentrate on 2 areas. ILB, and Safety. Unless percy harvin is sitting there at 23 and we can trade up to there with 3 of our 12 2009 picks( I know...I know...madden dreams, but can u imagine, TO, Witten, Roy Williams, Percy as the 3, and either MBIII or Felix as RB. Sorry)

Garcia would be obvious choice at first glance, as he is Romo minus a bit of the ability and minus quite a bit of the turnover issues, but........

Garcia and TO have history of a negative sort, and it would probably not be a good reunion.

- this might be a premature thread, but there are a bunch of offseason decisions that will be tough.

Columbo
Burnett
Zach Thomas
Henry to safety?
Keep Pacman?
Keep Tank Johnson?
Sign Canty?
Have we signed Spears?
What to do at left Guard?
What to do at backup Offensive Tackle (see 1st name for starter)
Do we get a more consistent fullback to add or replace Crickett
Do we stay will Ellis 1 more year (he's starting to decline quick it seems)
Cut Carpenter finally?
Cut Roy Williams?
How do we shore up and fix Safety position

Tons of questions!
