--Regardless of The Ralphs health status...with that being said-
-We need a STRONG/ All Balls GM.. One who is like Jimmy Johnson,The Tuna, ozzie,, This young awesome up & comier in Atlanta etc... But we need to start with solid trading & maneuvering,,then get the right positions targeted. Then we need some good old fasioned L--U--C--K that they aren't uncoachable bust, but then again,,,, a STUD GM/talenet evaluator could sense/predict such things to a certain extent eh....
--Enter Tom Modrak-- Sure he's a great talent finder.. He alone found Jabari Greer as a unwanted rookie that was ignored by the league.. Maybe luck, maybe just a hard working rook, who was coached right & got plenty of playing time and just progressed.....Remember the monday night game against Dallas Two years ago? Jabari Greer OWNED T.O. BIGTIME/THE WHOLE GAME TOO...
--Modrak--But there's another trend w/ Modrak- LOSING & MEDIOCRITY on a consistent level since post Marv Levi(1st stint) and Bill Pollian...
---Kinda like the way Jonas Jennings was good, but we wanted MORE, or BETTER from our starting LT. maybe that means a starting LT who can stay healthy, or just a starting LT who plays like a star outside of OWNING Jason Taylor..
-Point is that ~ even though Modrak is a awesome rookie evaluator, maybe we need MORE. I know is rediculous that we aren't winning for soooo long now. & even more rediculous that NE owns us so bad. Esp considering that The Jets and Miami got a NE win here & there & we KILLED NYJ's & Miami during that time.. Dick is a really good coach & not only do i like him, but i believe he is the coach to take us to the plaofffs. So i say we keep him as long as we don't get a new president type head coach who does a Mike Holmgrem or Andy Reed type takeover where they coach & do the GMing etc....
----So what are the Zoners feelings about Russ & Modrak & our future? && Where does is start for us to get over the mediocrity hump and become "goood" again?
--Seems obvious that we start with finding our QB of teh future and build around.. We had & lost our freaking franchise LT. No way will i EVER forget the way OBD dropped the puck on that one. Regardless of how greedy etc Jason Peters was/became... He shoulda been paid two years ago.. Yes, we lowballed him and had him play on a contract that ideal for a average starting LT,,not a probowl/elite LT.. No surprise that it blew up in our faces when Peters became obsessed with anger & eventualy bitterness & ressentment.. So Star LT aside.
--We have a nice up & coming O-line. With Butler & the new class.. We have Evans to build around and Evans should be elite for another 7-8 years/seasons..
--Our offense has our super star Running back. And there's a chance that, that said RB is not Lynch. Fred Jackson looked awesome last year running and the best reciever outta the backfield since Thurman. Not counting Larry Centers
----So it's all about finding our QB. In the case that we already have him then we/he really needs to get that comfort level and show us that the honeymoon is over. He had last season for leaning curves with seeing complexed blitzes & coverages & dealing with injuries and how to avoid for the future..
-----I really do believe that T.O really will be the best learning experience for Trent. T.O will force Trent to pay better attention to routes. Something i've been VERY vocal about here @ Zone.. How Trent Edwards is not very good at route-reading. Hence the Josh Reed attention, and the Running backs getting soo many passes etc. And Lee Evans not getting the same attention he got with JP etc... So ima thinking that Trent will improve this year.. If i'm wrong then we know where our teams biggest whole/weakness is & where we need to focus on to become a winner again...
