I agree. It would also help Ramsey solidify himself as our franchise QB.

And somehow I just don't see Coach Gibbs giving the guys a pep talk by telling them, "We tank the next 5 games guys and we cinch a high round pick!" Joe plays to win games period, whether it be now or in the future.

ramsey will... it looked to me that his game vs. the steel wasn't too horrible... top team in the NFL and in it til the very end? good game. good defense yes... but once our o gets simply capable, look for our D to play awesome and maybe we'll be similar to the ravens... billick is a good offensive mind even without the high ranked O to back it up... makes ya wonder.

Gmanc711 · 11-30-2004, 07:08 AM

Thats right VTskins. Our offense dosent have to be great, it dosent even have to be good... we just have to be capable. If we can put up merley 20 points, which it somthing we havent done this year, but in the NFL is really not *that* hard, we probly would have won 5 more games. We just have to get an offense that is capable.

offiss, people keep harping on the dline cause our sack count isn't great and we're forced to use LBs, safeties and corners to blitz... its the only weak spot on our D, though an upgrade to SS and a spare CB for depth wouldn't hurt either... on O, well... our WRs are NOT good enough, at least not from their recent showing (unless you think their problems are all from bad schemes), our O could use a new center and possibly a guy to replace dockery for sure, and a short yardage back, another TE, and a playmaking WR are not out of the question. Our offense is a real mess right now.

Exactly, that guy. Our offense is f-ed up right now. But going back to D-line. If you think about it, when we have a straight 4 man rush, the QB can freaking smoke a cigarrette back there with all the time he has. That's why our team blitzes more than any other team in the league. We either need a pass rushing DE, or another big tackle to compliment Griffin. Although, I do like Salave'a. A DE should be number either no.1 or 2 on their list this offseason.

I definitely think we can use some new blood at DE, I just don't want to see us breaking the bank on some high priced FA.

JudgeJebus · 11-30-2004, 11:32 AM

"Playing" for a high draft pick makes no sense. If all we want is a high draft pick, why even play? Just forfeit the games.

You play to win. And that's what we should continue to do.

cpayne5 · 11-30-2004, 11:52 AM

The only draft picks I like are in the top 10. It just seems to me that any 1st rounder below that is kinda risky considering how much you give up and what the failure rate of those guys is. If we get a 1st rounder in the teens, I'd rather trade down to pick up a few extra picks and let Gregg Williams and Joe Bugel work their magic. That being said, I want to win out.

redrock-skins · 11-30-2004, 11:59 AM

We've been getting high draft picks year after year and it hasn't helped. This team needs to find ways to win instead of finding ways to lose.

Gmanc711 · 11-30-2004, 12:53 PM

I dont even care about draft picks. I just want to be able to enjoy sundays instead of the months of March and April. I think we have a real shot at wining some games down the stretch, and I could never see myself cheering for anything else.

huntz · 12-01-2004, 04:08 AM

Want to see this team start to do something, anything, on O the next few games and WIN!!!! Living in PA, I've had to put up with the Eagles and Steelers fans CRAP all year!!!!!!! Yes, want to see another top pick too if that's what happens. But this team has to start LEARNING how to win.
