Explain to me tho where the flaw in that philosophy is (drafting for both lines) because I wasn't complaining at the time.
I personally feel, and I think many would agree, that you need to build in the trenches. After the draft, I thought it was a great draft, drafting the highest rated OG, highly rated blocking TE, best blocking FB, gambling on a DT with possible first round talent, etc... Again, the philosophy sounded great on paper, it was just the talent evaluation that failed (where Rick Smith I believe comes in)

But hindsight is always 20/20 but pre-draft, you probably coulnd't find a scout/GM that didn't believe XSF was a pro-ready OG. And even to defend Kubiak a bit, coming out of college who really predicted that hometown Klein product Fat Randy would be such a bad pro kicker?

The flaw is you miss the better player. After 2-14, why go in with mindset of building a particular unit when you're probably bad a lot places and void of talent. Think about it, the 1st 5 players have given the team nothing. Top it off, they have 0 at qb in a qb driven league.

It's week 4

Bill has been using "Fix it" and "Complementary football" since year 1,
preseason game 1, of his tenure.

Since then, the team has been in a slow but steady downward trend from
2-0 with shitzpatrick.

That Arizona game looked _exactly_ like the holocaust on the field we
saw against Atlanta.

I'm tired of his "bellichick jr." persona. He doesn't have the chops to fix this
squad, and the longer McNair waits to "fix the team" with a more
"complementary staff", you can expect to be the whipping boy of the league
each week.

....As disappointing as that sounds after so much optimism from the two
playoff years..

OB's replacement? :winky:

If my only possible choice is between BoB or Tom Herman, I'd have Obies sh*t out on
the street corner by 8a Monday morning.

Herman is not a proven commodity either (like Lovey and Wisenhunt), but he atleast
accomplished something tangible in college. (Naty Champs)

The story of the cougars is exactly the opposite of the Texans. Tom Herman takes
over Tony Levines talent and makes them better.

BoB took Gary's talent and wrecked it, then spent most of the offseason
shipping it off to other teams.

In a perfect world, I would magically transform Harbaugh from a wolverine to a Texan.
He's a guy that excelled both in college and the pros _and_ has superbowl experience
