He's such a space eater in the middle. People underestimate his presence and how he allowed the LB's to do their thing. I do think we need some new WR's. Let's be real, Braylon is better suited to be a #2, and Holmes should be our slot reciever. He's more effective that way in our offense. We need a true superstar #1 receiver. I'm still mad Faneca is gone, but we managed without him. Hell, I'm still mad about John Abraham leaving. But I digress. We need Leonard, he was key. Although I'm liking Kyle Wilson. Cro was good in theory but homeboy has been becoming more and more a liability. If we can afford it, we should go hard at the boy Asomougha. I would LOVE that. but probably won't happen. We need to get younger at LB too. I wanted Merriman, but I don't know how much cap space we have left, plus I don't know how effective he can be for us as a pass rusher. BUT I will say this, from Hard Knocks, we have gotten a lot of interest from players that want to come, so we'll see what happens...
Just to re-iterate, it's not Schottenheimer's fault, they are bringing Mark along, but they do need to trust him more to make plays. He's proving he can do it let the reigns go....
