This guys list is flawed ….
My list would have been
1 Fire OB
2 Hire a competent GM
3 Find a competent HC and OC who runs a WC offense.
4 Acquire secondary help
5 Acquire a pass rusher
1 - I think 6 years of ineptitude us enough …. OB has to go , like last week gone.
2 - The power structure of this franchise is …. just broken. They need a GM that's a Football guy first , that can evaluate talent and put good people around him and the team in general while avoiding "Clowney Debacles."
Need a new cap manager too …. since OB canned the last one - probably for telling him something he didn't like other than "Yes Man".
3 A new OC , I'd expect to build his playbook around Watson's abilities. No more of this square peg in a round hole crap , trying to make Watson into Brady. It aint gonna work. I'd want to see a WCO guy so we're constantly testing the edges and attacking vertically at the same time …. Make a defense "defend" the entire field , not just between the hashes / numbers on half the plays or more.
4 - RAC just didn't have much talent to work with last year , particularly at the CB spots. JJo hasn't been a top tier corner for a couple years now and the rest of those dudes were cast offs …. They definitely need a shot of talent back there.
5 - Yeah , they need another pass rusher …. Reader / Watt / XXX? / Mercilus.
Mercilus isn't a guy that teams have to gameplan against , he's a good technique guy …. need one more quality player up front.
I know the Watson only fans are gonna thro a fit but …. here it is:
No need to extend Watson yet …. It just doesn't make sense to do so before you see him in an offense tailored to suit him. Getting married to a contract that is ~13-15% of the cap for a guy may or may not be the guy just isn't a good idea - Fire OB and put Watson in an offense built for him and then make that decision after a year. If he lights it up …. pay the man. If not …. you have lots of options and saved yourself from a $35m a year mistake.
