    You're on a roll today.

    Draft not included, I think the offseason was break-even.

    I think you have to include the draft.

    I do? I was making a point about the moves without the draft. Like last year, we were improved greatly not counting the draft.

    I guess I misunderstood you. I count the draft because it is an offseason event.

    I do too. I'm just pointing out the FA signings and losses.

    They forgot at least Morris and Polk as players lost.
    Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

    Seriously, we didn't need to sign Big Name Fa's this offseason. Good to great coaching could of taken us to the playoffs LAST year, with the talent we had.
    I see it as:
    Gibson is way better than Moore.
    Vincent is an upgrade over Winfield.
    Shelton is a slight to moderate downgrade to Gash.
    Villairial breaks even with RB.
    Coaching should be a HUGE upgrade from last year.

    Vincent is a downgrade in my mind. We lose tackling for better hands. A loss in my opinion especially if we stick with our backed off corner scheme.

    I would think you would almost have to play Vincent off. He is slower than Winfield too.

    Troy Vincent

    Antoine Winfield

    There isn't too much of a difference in the tackling numbers.

    I agree 100% that coaching will make a HUGE difference this year. If we had this staff last year, we would have been in the playoffs, no doubt about it!

    Villariel doesn't break even with Ruben.... Believe me, Villariel is much better then Ruben is.
    You're right, I am a coward! I haven't any courage at all. I even scare myself.

    Not only that but Villarial is playing RG so he would be replacing Mike Pucillo and Ross Tucker not Ruben Brown.

    Vincent is an upgrade at corner.. A true corner makes the big play and that is an Int. at the corner spot.

    Ruben is better than Vallarial.. He's done alot more throughout his carreer, and consistantly is in front of a 1000 yd rusher.
