Also it might be nice to sign a NT (or two)... just saying.

McClain is very talented on the field (at least this last year) but has a lot of off the field questions... and how those off the field things will effect him on the field.

Spikes is a great run defender, but it's a passing league. Of course maybe it's possible to change up the defensive scheme some to take coverage roles away from him and more run defensive skills, like playing more nickel or something. Of course it's too bad he's not a better blitzer for that (at least his sacks numbers don't suggest he is.

Foster, like Spikes, has limitations in pass-coverage which Lovie Smith Tampa 2 defense showed even more than the old scheme but he's still might be better than Spikes in coverage, but worse than him in run support. Rumors have suggested the Bears were trying to sign him for their new 3-4 defense, but they were far apart on price.

He is correctly waiting for the price to bottem out to make a move,I believe.

He'll get no proven players of quality by waiting until the barrel is almost empty. It is one thing to be fiscally responsible , yet another to be scared to pull the trigger.

I don't know.

Barrington is going to get his shot at replacing Hawk and showed he was up to the challenge the last half of the year.

Don't forget CM3 played inside very well.

None of these guys we're released.
Ted doesn't like giving up comp picks.

There is plenty of ILB talent in this years draft.

I don't think Ted is afraid to pull the trigger.

Betting he is telling Dom, that Clay and Sam will be the guys early, while they develope the other guys currently on the roster and anyone who is drafted.

The Packers used their base D very little last year.
Again I expect Barrington to be in almost every play (ala Hawk)
Clay's roll may change some early, but will go back to him moving around as players developed.
I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!
