    I never expected is to land Spikes but we got him pretty simply. As think we were his only visit. That said he was a solid addition and I'd like him back to have some insurance behind Kiko. As even though Spikes didn't always see the field I'd rather have him in there if something happens to Kiko instead of Rivers. In terms this season off season targets ,Ipuati might is going to get plenty of looks, my top guy would be Jordan Cameron. As I think he's the ideal move the chains type TE we could use and a tad more reliable than Chandler is. Toss in in his breakout season (2013) all seven of his TDs came from inside the redzone. http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/...jordan-cameron

    I would remind you that both Urbik and Pears, while not all-stars, were playing MUCH better under Gailey & D'Alessandris two seasons ago when manning RG and RT respectively - and, as a consequence the running game was much more productive.

    Again, Marrone is a self-proclaimed o-line guru? Hmpf. Doesn't really show.

    Fix the O-Line and you will become elite. Though there is lots of work to do!

    Re: Marone: Blame me not Hackett for offensive struggles.

    I'm well aware of the circumstances and the personnel, and in my judgment, the offense performed WELL below the potential afforded by the pieces.

    The team is average.

    The D is above average.

    Ergo, the O is below average.

    Schwart2 was responsible for the best of the Bills, Marrone and Hackett the worst.

    Give the team to Schwart2, keep Whaley for another year, get a better qb and OC and BUILD on what we do well.

    Spikes is one and done with this team in all likelihood.

    My buddy is Niners fan and he feels the same way about Iupati that you did with Levitre. PFF has him as one of the worst guards in pass pro, 58th out of 79 qualifying players. However, he was 2nd in run blocking. Levitre was good at pass blocking but a so so run blocker, just the opposite with Iupati who will get a boatload in FA.

    You really don't want to. First thing I learned first time I went to Hawaii, is you don't bother a Samoan, tough as nails, even the women. I was beaten up viciously by a Samoan toddler at the airport. And they make the best girl scout cookies. Kid gave me a cookie after beating me up. They are a people not to be mocked.

    Re: Marone: Blame me not Hackett for offensive struggles.

    They have to change something. The OC is the obvious and easiest target. There is no QB to get and getting rid of the entire staff is not a good way of rebuilding.

    Re: Marone: Blame me not Hackett for offensive struggles.

    For once I fully agree with Marrone.
    He is being truthful.
    He is fully responsible for the O regressing and being as bad as it has been.
    Anyone who failed to see Marrone's fingerprints all over this O was willfully blind to the facts.
    Marrone and Hackett are the same guy.

    Re: Marone: Blame me not Hackett for offensive struggles.

    I really don't think Marrone is a bad coach. I also think he's taking more blame to take some heat off of Hackett. If Marrone had it his way I bet Hackett would be back next year. If that's the case, goodbye Marrone and Hackett.

    Give Schwartz the job. I seriously doubt he doesn't get at least one HC interview, or just a better offer. Give Pepper Johnson DC, we should keep this defense 100% intact. Maybe add a good DB, and Kiko comes back. Now that would be fun to watch.

    I'm more than OK with Schwartz getting the big office, but a little skeptical whether or not Pepper is ready to take over DCing just yet.

    I agree, that's a hard one to call. Johnson has had alot of playing and coaching time. I also (if I'm correct) believe he left New England because he was getting passed up even for consideration for DC. If we give Schwartz the job, Pepper will want that DC spot. I think he'd do a fine job especially if Schwartz is still here.
