Re: What is necessary for us to be raised to the next level?
 

And please stop with the WR talk, I can't take it anymore.

WR is the most overrrated position in football. Why were the Lions so sh*t every year? Cuz they kept blowing picks on fckn RECEIVERS! How many bowls has TO won??

When I was 10 years old I thought the Fun Bunch was the best unit on the Skins. Now that I'm in my thirties I've come to realize it was the Hogs. Spending valuable picks to add a #1 WR to this team is like putting a spoiler on a car with no engine or wheels. It's retarted. Like others on this site have mentioned, you build a winner from the inside out.

Our OL SUCKS. TW looks solid but jeez Lichtenberger and Rabach and Brown and Hicks and Heyer...:doh:
You want a nose tackle? Fine we definitely need one if we're gonna play the 3-4. I wouldn't mind a LB either. I'm starting to see cracks in Fletch's armor. The guy was in the super bowl in the 90s, he can't last forever. We're gonna need a new captain soon. And we have to think about QB next draft if not this one (and McNabb must be resigned).

Give me OLs, DLs, LBs, DBs, QBs... but NO WRs!!! I'd rather they draft Durant Brooks again (Vinny :doh:) than draft Taylor Devin Kelly (well not really but...).

Switching to the 3-4 was never the answer. Teams who have historically used the 3-4 (and the ones who switched recently and have been successful) have been successful because of the culture of how they play. BAL no longer uses the 3-4 base and still tear it up. Even after they have went through many defensive coordinators.
