1. ARE must be replaced on punt returns. With a good PR, we could pick up 1 or two TD's per season on PR's.
2. We still need another proven NFL WR. ARE is not effective as a wide out - he belongs in the slot as a #3 receiver and I don't think we can count on any of the young WR's to get the job done.
3. We need to upgrade our FG kicker. This should have already been done and if it's not done it will cost us a game or two.
4. Our new FG kicker needs a big leg on kickoffs, as well. We're surrendering field position on kickoffs.
5. It wouldn't hurt to have more speed in the game at RB on 3rd downs. Speed kills, you know. We need to get an occaisional "home run" from a RB via run or pass.
6. Jason Campbell must get a lot better in the Red Zone. He also needs to take more chances, particularly with the long ball. I think he will.

Man you read my mind on all of your points except on number 6. I think that if we get one of the sophmore wideouts to stepup into the number 2 spot, then that will give us more playcalling ability in the Red Zone. I think that Jason didn't have enough options. The only players he could count on consistently were Santana and Cooley. Most of the time they were double covered so he would end up taking a coverage sack. I especially agree with you on point number 5. We need a speedy third down back, I'm sorry but Betts is not getting the job done on third downs. I hope we can fit Marcus Mason in at this position. And for Gods sake please don't let ARE return punts anymore.
