My questions to the board are:
1. Do you agree with his philosophy?
2. How far away are we from having these three pieces in place?

LT, QB, and RB on offense.
NT, OLB, and playmaking Safety on a 3-4 defense.
Yes, that is the formula. You can be average at other positions, but if you're outstanding on all those positions, I think you can find a way to make it work. I would even argue that if you have a good enough QB, LT and RB don't become nearly as high of a priority (see Drew Brees).
