I don't recall out front 7 looking much different than it does now in 2009, Sharper was the difference.

Our players fit GW's system because it was an attack now ask questions later sort of D, now it's more complex players are struggling, some of them just show a lack of talent We need upgrades at front 7 but we need a ball hawk, in 2010 we screwed a healthy Darren sharper over for Malcolm Jenkins, look how it worked out for us, badly |

Of course that is all "could'ves" but at least Mr. Smith looked like a different (younger & and more hungry) version of himself in 2009. |

Agreed, Ellis is beyond useless.
