Fresh on my to do list for October 12th would be:
1) Meet with Garrett and Linehan and explain to them that playing cautious and chickencrap in our game plans has gotten us 3 losses in a row. I'd rather go down swinging than just watch us bleed to death with these unimaginative and conservative game plans. How come NE can figure out a way to get their smallish WRs open with pick plays, etc. and Linehan can't?
2) Tell them come hell or high water, they better have Cassel ready to play in 2 weeks.
3) Spend as much time getting Michael more involved in the offense. I may not totally believe in him myself but at this point, there's no reason not to try as we've seen McFadden be nothing more than useless and Randle look mediocre at best.
4) Get Leary into a training room and find out what the *** is wrong. And in the meantime, prepare Collins to start at LG. The OL still has its struggles but on a few of the "breakdowns" along the OL that we saw, when I rewound and watched the play, it was usually Leary who messed it up. One of those sacks of Weeden, the otehr 4 destroyed their guys and Leary just got shoved right back into Weeden. I might even consider moving Martin to LG and then try to run behind him and Smith. But that's a drastic move for another day.
5) Sorry Barry, but enough is enough. Get Jones in at FS and Wilcox to SS. White is now the nickle back. In certain situations, if you have a big TE or slot guy, then move Jones back into that role and insert Church if you have to. But the biggest issue right now in our suspect secondary play is our S play has been atrocious and to top it off, Church, himself has given up way too many big plays because he failed to make a tackle or overran a play. Enough is enough.
6) I like Hitchens, especially if he's playing alongside Lee and McClain but I might work Wilson in some more. He's just a more gifted guy than Hitchens (or Kitchens as Simms liked to call him). But this is a way down the list problem at this point.
7) I ask Marinelli what the hell is going on on the interior DL? Teams seem to be able to run right over us. If Hayden isn't getting the job done, and he wasn't yesterday, then find someone who can.
8) I get on a plane and fly to the deep jungles of the Amazon for some special ointment that will heal Gregory, Romo and Bryant and have them already for the first game out of the bye week. There has to be some sort of magical healer down there somewhere, right?
