A Glimmer of Hope

Parity...Copycats...some of the words used to describe the NFL...And..It's mostly true...

Look at the last couple of years...Since Tampa Bay won the Superbowl..Every team has been drafting heavily on Defense...Trying to capture what Baltimore and Tampa Bay had when they went on thier title runs...

Now..the focus has really been forced into switching...

Peyton Manning...Drew Brees...Donovan McNabb....Tom Brady....all sorts of Offensive talent..All of the teams now that are winning big..are doing so on the Offensive side of the ball..

What does that mean for us?..Well...with the patterns shown in the last few years..it might be a safe bet to presume teams will draft more Offesnive players early...in an attempt to follow suit of the more succesful teams this year..It happens every time...

So..chances are really getting better for us to get a high quality defensive makeover this offeseaon..If anything..we may even get the Linebacker the fans so desperately want...Johnson..and ..we might not even have to trade up to get him...he could fall in our laps..

With any luck..we may get afew of the toss offs from other teams when they get rid of some key free agents this year too..

It may be Optomistic..but..It could become reality ..and soon..
