I know people don't like the idea of playing for next year, but this season appears done. This team has a lot of holes that they need to fill. They most likely new a new MLB, WLB, CB and SS or FS and SS depending on where Jones plays next year, a 1 tech, and an upgrade at RB would not hurt. Church and Wilcox are terrible and the coaching staffs refusal to move on from them is embarrassing. I wouldn't mind starting Jones at FS and starting White at SS. The safeties have blown coverage assignment after coverage assignment. I think taking Church out at SS would hurt the run defense a little but he has been an absolute liability in coverage. Wilcox has been an abomination and there is no reason to write about his play. I think playing Jones and White would significantly improve the safety range. Patmon would have to start at nickleback from here on out and Dallas would have to bring someone up from the practice squad or poach someone to be the fourth corner. Church and Wilcox should be moved to special teams where I think they would help immensely. Rolando McClain is a turd. This team should cut him now. How can you show up at 270 lbs? Then he intentionally has knee surgery too late so he can skip training camp. Unlike Hardy he was allowed on the team facilities during his suspension. He still showed up out of shape. Cutting him would send a message that loafing will not be tolerated. I would start Sean Lee at MLB when he comes back from his concussion and move Hitchens to the weakside. I don't think Lee can stay Healthy, but Hitchens showed a lot of promise last year. I say start him at his best spot let Wilson back up Lee and play Wilson at MLBer if Sean Lee gets hurt again. This team needs to evaluate these linebackers and see if they can play or not. I don't know what this team can do at 1 tech. I would consider poaching two promising 1 techs from other teams practice squads and playing them the rest of the year. This team needs to stop neglecting that position. In this case Stephen Jones and Jerry Jones do need to meddle because this position is having a trickle down effect on the rest of the Dline. I would poach Kerry Hyder from Detroit, Deandre Coleman from Denver, and cut useless players like Clutts, Heath, or Danny McCray to make room. They need more beef at DT and Maranelli's stubbornness is costing them.
Lastly I would give Christine Michael a lot more touches. At least 15 touches a game. McFadden is not the problem but everyone has this team drafting a running back in the next draft. I think Michael has very good physical talent but Linehan's reluctance to play him makes no sense anymore. We need to find out if this team needs a running back. Having Michael play well and allowing this team to skip running back would allow this team to revamp this defense. I honestly think Michael would outperform McFadden right now. Even though McFadden is suppose to be faster, he does not accelerate very fast and is more of a long strider. Michael is not fast but explodes into top speed very quickly.
I know people may not like this idea, but the coaching staff needs to move on. We need to find out if we can find some solutions to these holes on this current roster. It will cost a few games but there is not much difference between 6-10 or 8-8.
