Fantastic wish I know but would at least prove to me that maybe postive change was coming as opposed to same old regime tactics.


Also interested in why you like the scouting staff this much? I'm not clubbing them by any means but in the vein that they've done nothing wrong, they really haven't gotten too much right...Horton was a good find.

TJ Duckett and Lloyd aside, our O-line goes belly up at the end of last year (after our 6-2 start) and we prove we have no O-Line depth. They don't shore it up with players and then we experience R. Thomas going down for the year in Week 2. Not the prepardness I would expect from a crack scouting staff.

It's up to Cerrato and the coaches to decide who we select. It's up to the scouts, Scott Campbell, and Mo Brown to find players for them to choose from.

The decision to go after or not go after offensive linemen is not the responsibility of anyone but Cerrato, Zorn, Snyder and in this particular example Bugel (with possibly Eric Schaffer tossed in due to his role in the salary cap)

The scouts under Scott Campbell are the ones who find a Marko Mitchell in the 7th round. They don't decide if he's drafted. The scouts under Morocco Brown are the ones who find a Dominique Dorsey (for lack of a better example) right now. They don't decide if we sign him.

I think you just want change for the sake of change, meaning anything even remotely associated with Cerrato you want gone. But realistically I don't see that being of much benefit to us to just completely tear the entire organization down. Make changes at the top, sure. But we have several good scouts (which I don't believe we did when Gibbs joined) that we are better off holding on to, in my opinion.
