This could be a time of year where Haslett and co. only need one or two "key" free-agents that would put this team over the top.

Instead, Haslett is having to go back and address positions that should have been fixed long ago.

Instead of signing a stud linebacker or a cornerback in free-agency, Haslett and co. are having to address the offensive and defensive lines. Both of these areas have been built and rebulit several times under Haslett.

Consider these players on both the offensive and defensive lines:

Offensive line:
1. Willie Roaf
2. Kyle Turley
3. Joh Stinchcomb
4. Wayne Gandy
5. Victor Riley
6. Le' Charles Bentley
7. Montre' Holland
8. Spencer Falou

And that isn't all of the players Haslett has either drafted on signed onthe offensive line. You would think that this area would be in great shape. But, it's very weak today!

And then there's the defensive line...

Defensive tackles:
1. Grady Jackson
2. Norman Hand
3. Le' Roi Glover
4. Jonathan Sullivan
5. Brian Young

Haslett has gone through some guys at this position. Even gave up 2 first round draft picks to get Sullivan. Now, our best defensive tackle is Brian Young. Doesn't that just make you jump for joy!!

And then there's the safety position:

Tebucky Jones anyone? Jay Bellamy?

Thank god they got lucky and were able to get CB Mike McKenzie from Green Bay or we'd be in trouble there too.

So, instead of some of these stud players at "iimpact" postions, such as CB or LB, we're likely to get an offensive lineman or safety.
