You don't fix this team, you simply improve it.

I couldn't agree more. I don't feel at all like an overhaul is needed. We've got a good knife - just need to sharpen it some.

For the most part, we're talking here about peripheral changes to improve the team. We all know that we have great parts to build around like Brees, the OL, Colston, Moore, Graham, Ellis, Will Smith, Vilma, Jenkins, Porter/Greer/Robinson, and for the most part a really good coaching staff.

DT- Run stopper who can attract blockers and free up DEs for pass rushing and allow LBs to make plays.

OLBs- TWO!! New OLBs to make plays.

RB- Need a power back that can stay on the field. I am OK with PT, as a rotational back at the right price. Reggie has been an OVER paid 3rd down back (decoy) for too long, only sign him for a fair price. spend that money on DT, LB, RB Free agents

Special Teams!

O-line did a good job. More balance pass/run is needed to keep the other teams defense respecting the run and not rushing the passer.
Drew Brees is amazing, Help him out with a balanced attack. Also keeps defense fresh.

Resign free agents (LANCE MOORE)!!!

Mickey Loomis is getting his wet stone ready to sharpen our team.
Hmmmm.........that knife may be so sharp someone gets cut.
