Can you not count.

Herm:
Offense 2: you list 4 (which is not 2) how about QB (5) RB (6)
Defense 3 maybe 4: you got that correct, though is one guy on the worst Defensive line in NFL history going to fix it...Doubtful. And is one LB going to fix that, and how about safety?

The only way we are six players away is if they bring in the best six players on the team........NOT GOING TO HAPPEN

If Herm thinks that Richardson or Taylor is going to start at right tackle and possibly, both starting at right tackle and right guard respectively, then maybe he's right. That would only leave the Center position and a running back/QB.

To be honest (and I've stated this before), I have NO IDEA where Herm's getting his numbers. I don't know if he's referring to starters or if he's referring to the entire roster.

I guess the reporters should have asked him to clarify but once again, they failed to do so.

I blame Claythan.

It has to be starters, because six players away, would have to be six players better than anyone on this roster, to come here, which would make them starters.

He would have just given some vague bullshit answer or acted all arrogant about not wanting to let other teams' know their draft strategies.

But he is completely delusional for thinking this team is that close.

Of course he wants all the wonderdummies back on the coaching staff.

Whee!!

Regardless, the question should have been asked.

To think otherwise is either lazy or stupid.

And I'm not implying that you're either.

I agree, and the guys on 810 were basically saying the same thing in a round about way, trying not to make Petro look bad.

That has to be hard.

The talent that's already on our roster needs to be coached up... frankly we were in a lot of games this year despite our glaring shortcomings and with some additions in FA and the draft (probably around 10-12 starters and rotational guys combined) this team can be a lot better than they were this year. I don't think it will happen with Herm, and I hope he's gone after we hire a new GM, but our cupboard isn't as bare as some would like to think it is.

Unless you add QB to that list, you're looking at 8-8. YAAAAAY!!!.

Anyone who thinks Herm Edwards is a good coach is ****ing dillusional.

I just don't understand how you can say a guy is a good HC when he has won just 2 games out of his last 25. He has a 15-33 record here. The defense he was fixing is at the bottom of the league.

I just don't know where the label of "good" is coming from.

Have our standards been neutered so bad that a coach that isn't good in any area is considered good? I'm just massively confused at the thought process.

can we just stop with the name calling and how I must be stupid because I too believe Herm has done a good job, with what he had, what he's finally getting accomplished?

I view it from a more internal success, I see the games and see the improvements being made. I see that it's not just about the win loss record for saying what I say.

Hasn't he been doing that his entire career -- Promoting himself, and tearing down the people around him? Just saying. ...

He's a goner. There is too much money at stake.

When does the new stadium open?

It's not a new stadium, they're just renovating the old one. I think it's supposed to be done in 2010.

News Flash. There was going to be uncertainty even if Herm was fired yesterday. These guys are professionals, trust me they will deal with it. And to be honest, we all know that many of the players like Herm, so maybe its good that we didn't shit can him yesterday so we don't have to hear how great Herm was. Plus, the players need to respect the new GM, letting him fire Herm should send a clear message.
