The team would be better off letting Drosey, Jackson, and Cassel go after the season. That's what? 20 million in cap space?

Disagree with you on Dorsey, and no, one bad year in Gun's system when he was asked to play more of a Nose Tackle role isn't validation of that.

His skill set out of college was his first step. He is not a pass rusher, but he is a guy who knows how to collapse the pocket and attack the run.

Jackson, if moved to a 1-gap, is out.

By the way...
Gus Bradley in Seattle runs a 3-4/4-3 hybrid. Funny, because that's the defense I think Haley wanted to build. But it's also a defense we could very effectively transition into.

It would have been beneficial to take a loss on value and trade Dorsey.

Best for him and we could have turned around and gotten a legit 3-4 DE with the pick...

truth - the only way that bend-don't-break shit works is when you can get constant pass rush.

Tampa could do that shit because of their personel; everyone (except Indy) who tried to emulate the famed 'Tampa 2' failed (sound familiar).

**** a 2-gap defense. We don't have the pass rush, and no secondary depth - **** how did this happen!!!???

that's exactly why it took so long to name a DC in '09

We're fine at receiver until we see how they change their play with a new QB. Well, that's how I see it anyway. I'd rather not burn a buttload of draftpicks on ****ing WRs. If we add any extras to our passing game, we should get a better TE. A MUCH better TE.

RB... again, let's see how much this offense changes when we switch up the QB. Don't care about this.

On the defensive line I completely agree, but how the hell are we supposed to fix this? We CAN'T draft more asshole defensive linemen in the first round.

Basically, I see our only glaring holes at ILB and S, both of which can and should be taken care of in the draft. After we get our QB, we're pretty much free to go BAA the rest of the way.

We just have to hope that the new GM isn't a ****ing fraud.

Because Pioli was so bullheaded that all he wanted to run was 2-gap. There are only a handful of guys who run that, and Romeo wasn't coming back to coaching that year.

Instead, he hired a guy in Clancy Pendergast who runs Gus Bradley's exact scheme he's now running in Seattle, and forced Pendergast to run a 2-gap defense that wasn't in his wheelhouse. How do we know that? Because Tyson Jackson is a prototypical 2-gapper.

I get it: You actually work for Pioli's Chiefs.

Clancy Pendergast ran the 31st ranked defense in Arizona for not one year, but two. He was a cluster**** of a hire but only you could provide the reach-around defense.

Idiot.

A GM should have no say on any coach except the head coach, unless it's extenuating circumstances (see : Greg Robinson)

Chicago Bears send their regard. So do the Colts that carried Peyton to a SB.

I think the explanation was simpler; no one else was willing to take the job but Clancy.

The 2-gap defense isn't as bad as everyone says, but I'd prefer we run 1-gap. Our defensive woes the last few games have a lot more to do with softness, poor scheme preparation, and lack of focus. Not as much of a talent issue.

A lot of our defensive problems will be fixed by just having a head coach who gets his players to play with discipline and intensity. Romeo was such a stupid hire for head coach, it's mind-numbing.
