1. Dump this "draft pick for vet" mentality. How bout we keep and develop some of our own talent for a change? It'd be nice to have more than 4 guys that we drafted start on offense. Free agents should "round" the team out, not comprise the team

2. Trade Betts or Duckett. Can't have two backs like that on the bench, especially when their value plummets to zero after the trade deadline. We won't get the 3rd rounder back from Atl, so we may as well get some production out of the backup rb spot. If I see Betts turn one more five yard gain into a 2 yd loss I'm going to choke myself.

3. Tell Gibbs that we're not that good this year. Maybe Gibbs will keep gutting out these games with Brunell, but no one is enjoying it and it's not helping the Skins either short term or long term right now. In fact, it's hurting us long term because we can't get Campbell on the field who will need time to develop. The clock doesn't start until he hits the field, what are we waiting on exactly?
