I see two major needs. They are like yours. DT and OG/C. I have been beaten on fairly consistantly for complaining about the lack of depth along the offensive line. To clarify; Our projected RG has as many seasons on IR as games played. Our C has a signifigant history of missed games with injury. Our LG has had a long history with injuries and the IR, not to mention ANOTHER proceedure on a shoulder that's gone under the knife three times and spent a portion of last year on the IR.
Our backups? One guy that's so good he's been on three NFL teams and is back with the Dolphins for a second go around....A guy (if you believe Sparano) is one bad choice with booze and cars (In SoFla no less) away from being on the street, and a guy that could not get on the field last year even with as bad as Alleman sucked...And probably our best back up was last seen being thrown like a lawn dart into Ronnie Brown.
I think OLB is an underestimated need as well. I believe the Pat White pick will haunt us down the road. Sure, this year we have Taylor (Who may or may not be done), Porter (One trick poney that faded badly late in the year), Wake (CFL star who has not played a down of NFL football), Charlie Anderson (Ugh), Erick Walden (ST Stud, but, can't get on the field otherwise) as out best guys. Not taking Sintim will hurt us for a number of years, IMO.
i think u took what i said wrong. just saying our o line needed some work which we got some players but will it be enough and making fun of the pats.. i know even i can play better qb then john and trust me thats sad.
It will be tough....
I don't know but it will be closer than in previous years.
They put one of the phins pats games back in the saban era on the NFL Network the other day and it wasn't even close....By mid third Quarter the pats were up 28-0.
Im thinking the games will be more even now since we have a better team with more depth.

i agree did u watch our last game. i know why Ravens qb had so much success look at that o line. Our d line seem like they where sitting down giving their qb like 10 seconds to throw the ball. our o line only gave chad a good 3 seconds if lucky.
yes i did, it was happening all year. i knew the ravens would beat us. and i knew they would run it down our throat. they are much more physical than us. the run sets up the pass and if you don't pressure the qb doen't matter who it is he will complete passes
I agree we need a NT that demands double coverage everytime and an ILB.......We are thin at both positions.
first, NT-s don't get double coverage, they get double teamed, let's not mix up two different things.
as far as the question goes, I agree with thoose of you who say that we need a beast NT, and a playmaking ILB. When I think about it, we need quite some LB-s
A NT that demands double teams everytime, and a consistent, playmaking ILB
Those would be the two positions I would take. I believe we will be better then alright at DE and O-LB, Secondary is going to be loaded w/ talent this year, all that needs are a few players on the inside.
Crowder to me a a very good player, but he is better as a complementary LB, not as your main Inside linebacker, get someone that has tons of talent, Crowder becomes even better. As for NT, we really do need a younger option, and if one of our younger player does not step up this year, you can rest assured either we go shopping at Pat's land for a NT, or take one of the many top player from college next year.
marino & lawrence taylor
or more realistically,
peterson & willis..... come on make it happen, Bill !!!
I want to say something about your tattoo.
if u like the patriots.. i got to say that tattoo does not show it. it looks awful and give me the idea that you ask the guy to mess it up to show you do not like the pats. You should take that off and get your money back from the guy for doing a awful drawing as of that.. Seriously
^^^hahah it never fails. I know at least some of you out there think my sig is funny and don't rely on a cerebellar brain function to get through the day
