JC

How about Dick Vermeil next year?

In order, here's who I want...

1. Bill Cowher
2. Marty

I don't feel like I need to explain why those two top my list...

3. Andy Reid. If Philly misses the playoffs, he could be available. He's been a very successful coach in this league.

4. Jim Schwartz- He's coached under perhaps the two best coaches in the game today. Bill Billicheck, and Jeff Fisher.

5. I don't care. If we can't land either of those 4, then I'll just hope for the best lol.

Those guys aren't gonna happen. Holmgren please.

Marty and Cowher are like a Browns fan wet dream. It's not very likely since neither are interested in coaching. Holmgren might like a year off, but at least he is more inclined to listen to offers than the other two.

How can you say neither are interested in coaching? If the right offer is made, I think both would bite.

Let me remind you that we have injuries on that line..o.k?
And we have some young players who need experience and to learn to play a pro 34.
I don't need to use any extra $$$$$$$ on that line.
It's not a priorty ..the LB's are..I've been complaining about them for several years ..
Get Willie out of there..upgrade his spot..get Davis out of there..upgrade him(and I mean stud) and that front seven gets a whole lot tougher.

ONE starting Lineman is hurt. and like I said before the LB are needed more than the D-lineman, however that does not mean that the D-line still does not need upgraded.

Two linemen are hurt.
Williams has a shoulder he may need surgery on.
He has to settle into the scheme as it was unfamilar to him .
I would expect to see his output improve next season.
Again the line is not the focal point..now if there are some other changes made based on what I just read the line could look different.

Willaims needs to improve a lot more, R. Smith needs to be able to come back, and S. Big Mouth Smith needs to be no better than our 6th best D-lineman before our D-line will be OK.

I will admit that " I ' had no idea what good RG. Tucker , was until he wasn't .. Both replacements for him where down right Uggggggg .. Fraley was more than just a little exposed without Tucker lining up ....

Attach >>> I'm going to put RG. right up there with at least one ILB & one OLB as top priority's even if Tucker is coming back for training camp ...

One can only keep their fingers crossed when it comes to Williams and R. Smith .. Williams was playing hurt most on the season and in a new system .. Still he went from 7 sacks last season " O " this on ... Can R. Smith make it all the way back and make a contribution in a rotation ???? Have no idea where to find one , or if we can afford one; But we still need a Monster " DE " to go with Mr. Rogers...

We have the money if we shop Anderson, Winslow and Edwards. I say sign Albert Haynesworth. How can our DL not improve with him in either a 3-4 or a 4-3. Draft the kid from USC to play MLB. Our Front Seven on D will look a LOT better with those two players added.

Well actually we need a more powertype center..Fraley hustles but he can't just drive off strong DT's..and we need to find a young power OG who can replace Tucker..he's nearing the end of the road.
I'm still going to say any additions on the Dline will have to come via the draft..or a UDFA.
I want to see the draft used to reel in a LB/CB/RB/WR..

I'm kinda , sorta with ya on a CB .......... But I wonder if we are going to have to go Safety shopping first ??? Rumor has it , this is a good year for " OL " , like a guard in the second or third !
