I posted this in another forum, but wanted to post it here to get thoughts.
Here is miy 5 from the week before the Philly game. Most of it still holds true.
1. Fire Wade Phillips. Okay, probably not going to happen unless we are waiting on something from the SuperBowl. But bringing in Dan Reeves in some capacity will ensure us that if we are playing like Patsies at week five next year, Wade will be gone and Reeves the interim.
2. Get rid of Owens, Pacman, and Tank. Two out of three so far. Owens could be next, especially if Reeves is brought in. I think Miles Austin can be a star this year. We are okay at CB and what did Tank actually do?
3. Move Ratliff to DE and either draft with our first pick, trade up to get, or sign the best available "Real" 350 Lb runstopping NT available. Ratliff made the Probowl on his third down play. He can still rush from the NT spot on thrid down. The problem is he often got ate up on running plays. In the 3-4, that cannot happen. Let him play DE on rushing downs, and sometimes move back inside on passing downs to rush.
4. Get a real Backup QB. Probably still happen. Garcia, as much as I used to hate him as a 49er, would be the perfect backup QB for Romo. If you want to look younger, Losman, Simms, or a trade for Beck could suffice. Don't draft a backup. It will take him two to three years to be able to play at the level we need our backup to play in 2009.
5. Address Safety. Not Henry. We need a real FS. Hamlin can handle SS. We need to either sign, trade for, or draft a real FS who is a ball hawk who played the postion in college, at a high level. We are constantly missing on this position. What a difference a real FS can make to a defense.
