thanks for the follow up. there is merit but i cannot say it turned me out of the predraft blues to gumbo giddiness. i am not overly keen to translating football sabermatically like baseball. they have a place but are not effective in reflecting all aspects of play, ie blown assignments or missed blocks, etc. it is a highly integrated team game that depends on a cohesive and coordinated effort to be successful. the transformation and improvement of the secondary was seen in play and personnel. now with smith only more is expected. improvement was seen among the linebackers but they are all young and learning not proven veterans. allen has the not so bright tag, bock and coutney still need to develop physically as well. my initial complaint was not so much what sort of personnel moves had or had not been made though. my beef is the degree of agressiveness in the market to get readily identified difference making impact players. there is an ebb and flow to talent in the cap environment. it is time to emphasize pushing harder for now than building longterm within this organization imo. i just don\'t see enough of it.
