I don't believe in the quick fix because history shows it simply doesn't work. I believe in coaching up the guys you've got and going that route. Buges did it with Heyer last year. Wasn't Heyer a free agent??? Now going into this year Heyer has gained valuable experience and is a solid back-up with playing experience in case Jansen isn't effective. Why can't this new D-line coach do the same thing?

I think it's quite possible the new d-line coach is doing what Buges did with Heyer. He's got his starters, and he's got his projects. One might turn into a potential starter next year (like Heyer did), and there you go -- we developed the guys we brought in, and we also got JT to help get us there. Also, let's not lose sight of the value that JT provides to our younger d-linemen.

In the end, it's all about moderation -- develop some guys, and also get some guys that don't need development.
