We would go get a free agent or two and try an fill the spot all the while the others were getting older. The poor pitiful draft picks under D.V. were not his picks they were Carls. They were more often than not busts. Now Herm is trying to BUILD a team. There is no REbuilding this team. You have to build from scratch. IMO Chan and Herm feel like this is just a long preseason, they are evaulating talent all year long. It is hard win when you cant put a team on the feild that has no real experience.

I don't disagree with any of this, Mr. RibKing67. Except for one thing ... in his pressers this afternoon, Herm sure didn't sound like a guy who is looking at this as a long pre-season and just taking things in stride. To me, he sounded like a man who just got his bare ass spanked by the little old lady who lives in the clapboard house down on the corner. He sounded embarrassed, defensive, and somewhat shocked. I honestly believe that Herm is beginning to realize that he's in way over his head on this deal. His expectations (whatever they may be) for game day are not being met and he doesn't know where to start in order to turn things around.
Knowing Hermoine, that means he'll go back to "basics". Blame the youth and focus again on "fundamentals". Conveniently, "basics" and "fundamentals" are about all he can offer in terms of coaching.
