Here are just a few changes and/or additions we should make:
- Allow Holdzell Adams to get the he** out of Dodge & put Doug Free in his place. I have never seen an OL have such a detrimental effect on an offense as this guy. Right when it looks like we're driving for a go ahead or winning drive, and we just gained 20 yds. on a great run or pass----"Holding, number 76, ten yard penalty, first down"......or "Illegal motion, #76, five yard penalty, ***** down". Free is just as talented, but much smarter. How do I know? Who isn't smarter?
- Draft a big, fast DB, such as Malcolm Jenkins, CB, Ohio St., 6-1, 210, 4.3 speed. By far the best cover corner in college football....& you know those OSU corners can play in the NFL.
- Draft or sign in FA a SS. What?????? I know I'll hear it from all of the Roy man-lovers, but I don't care. Whatever one thing he brings to the game, he brings two detriments. That new horse collar thing he's doing is plain wrong. He wouldn't have to use it if he weren't getting beaten all the time, and has to be in the chase position. Notice too, that the Cowboys are blitzing Nate Jones far more now than Williams. Jones can flat out get to the QB faster & better than Williams.
- I don't know who in the **** is calling the secondary plays, but I am so sick of them looking like the freaking Keystone Kops! Get it together, guys....it's not that hard.
- Use Hatcher more & either Spears or Canty less. Hatcher just makes more plays than the other two. He will learn to stop the run better, but he will be in there when the opposition passes on first down. With Spears & Canty in there on first down, passing on first down seems to be a no brainer. They are good run stoppers, but get little push on the rush. Hatcher is really coming on in the rush & needs to be in there more often.
- Blitz, blitz, blitz! Since we gave up 48 pts. to the only quality team we've played, it seems obvious that in order to have any chance at all this year, we need to put constant pressure on the QB. The standard rush just 'aint gettin' it, so we need to start using a lot more blitzing, stunting, etc.
- For God's sake, NEVER EVER have Greg Ellis cover anyone, any time!! The guy can't cover when he's healthy, so why would you think he can do it less than 100%? Put him in on 3rd & long to rush the passer--that's it! In fact, apply this principle to Spencer & Ware we well. Our pass rush is bad enough without having your best out there trying to cover little guys that YOUR little guys can't even cover.
