-- Drafting Rocky was a mistake. The same mentality the coaching staff has with regard to Mark Brunell, equally applied to Shawn Springs. They blindly thought they could endlessly rely on him, and now it's come back to bite them.

-- Yet another season went by without any thought of addressing the pass rush other than throwing money at a 49er castoff. And now because Shawn Springs is out, they have no ability whatsoever to apply pressure to the opposing quarterback -- because, you know, you have to have a shutdown corner to in order to get sacks. How's that for some backwards logic?

Drafting McIntosh does seems questionable now that we have Posey but, the ex-Bill wasn't available at the time. If Coach Williams is smart he'll try to replace Masrhall at the MLB spot. We need a CB who can cover. People talked about why we let Smoot go after giving Champ up. I think us not re-signing Clark was a bigger setback.
