1. Mike Neal for what we had was a major bust. That was Ted Thompson's fault, and it was ABSOLUTELY HUGE, imo. We need a replacement.

2. We STILL need an OLB opposite of Clay. AMAZING the failure to get that fixed, with all the picks used to try and fix it.

3. Now we need another QB.

4. We need a better running back.

5. We may never see Nick Collins again. We need a safety.

6. I really don't care about all these coaches leaving. Example- What the fuck did Winston Moss exactly friggin' do?

Ted blew it for us this year, imo

We just wasted a regular season, and many of us saw it coming.

1- D-Line that can rush the damn QB
2- We need a opposite OLB
3- Cornerback
4- O-line
5- Safety

... I'm still pissed about it but a new coordinator to work with drop passes.

All the picks? How many picks have been wasted on getting a starting OLB opposite Matthews exactly?

---

Only one I can recall at this moment: Brad Jones. Walden / Zombo booth FA signings.

---

Actually, N O N E, but we pumped Many picks into the I lb position that are mostly a waste.

I should be allowed to do the linebacker picks for our team from now on, imo. I'd fix it. 😰

I cannot see how.

We lost because our offense had terrible execution. Drops and fumbles cannot be excused. Then, there was Rodgers having an off-day. He missed a couple of throws, at least, that he makes looks so easy most other times.

Despite our defense's struggles, the major problems still come down to communication. I fail to see how Ted can make the communication in the secondary better when his role is to be the GM.

Lack of pass-rush, though, he has to get blamed. He gambled big time on Neal being available and effective. Lost out, and it hurt us. But we still could have won the game with this team.

What Ted must do:

1-A. Find a rusher at OLB opposite Mathews.
1-B. Find a rusher at DE opposite Mathews.

2. Get younger at DB, specifically at Corner. Make sure younger players are not merely those with potential, but actually capable of stepping in and contributing right away.

3. Find out about Nick Collins' future. Peprah will not cut it as starter.

Pretty short list, really. This team is built well for the long-term. We just need point #1 to be addressed, and we can get away with a lot of the faults we have on defense (namely, communication breakdowns).

---

Again, not sure who you are referring to with "many picks". DJ Smith is the only one that comes to mind. Hawk and Bishop, too, I guess; surely these were not wasted. Hawk may be under producing based on his talent, but we can agree after watching the secondary communication breakdowns that Hawk deserves props for making our front 7 know what they should do and where they are supposed to be.

We could use an upgrade at ILB who can cover, but frankly I think a player with the physical tools of Francois can be a part of the answer going forward.

1. Dom has regressed.

recievers have found gaping holes in the secondary, and he has done a piss poor job of identifying and adjusting what is/is not working this season.

2. The left side of our D

Wynn/Wilson are not starting quality DEs, Walden/Jones/Zombo are just as bad.

3. Nick Collins' replacment

Peprah is consistantly late to his assignment, especially anything short.

4. The O-line

actually played pretty well today, Rodgers held the ball alot today.

5. RBs

Grant is clearly afraid to go through a lane, he continues to run into the linemen.

---

Any notable free agents this year that Ted Thompson might actually go after?
