We are in need of help... scheming and fundamental tackling. That's where Spags comes in. We have a full off season and I expect him to make an immediate impact... not wait until next year. That's not what we're paying him for. |

I want better players on defense just like everyone here does. However, I think Spags can do a lot with what he has now even if he rolls out with the same bunch as last year. Tackling and correct "Wrap up" skills will be stressed at camp this year. I'd bet on it.

He has plenty of talent to work with, and we haven't even started to bring in his kind of guys yet.
I see no reason why our defense shouldn't be middle of the pack at the very least. All it takes is one player who fits perfectly to turn it around, as was the case in 2009 with Sharper. |

Let us not forget, though Franklin didn't turn out to be what everyone thought he would, we signed him at a bargain rate and no one thought it could actually happen. Loomis does work. |

That's exactly what we are all hoping for.
A good vet with new found fire in his belly, working hard to get him/us a ring. Hopefully, it happens on the cheap. Or Ellis somehow re-invents himself to bolster some value for a new contract. |
