[QUOTE="pyledriver80, post: 70262, member: 194"] The truth is both sides of this argument are stating things that will not be known until the conclusion of the 2006-2007 season. Will TT's players pan out? That is the question. I am stuck somewhere in the middle here. It seems its always an either "your with TT or you are not" type thing to most of you. I think TT is taking the right approach in retooling this team BUT the problem is I don't know if he is talented enough to be able to do it like they did in NE. TT DID NOT build that Seattle team, but played a small part in it. I look at TT at this point and I see the correct philosophy being taken by building through the draft and lesser known FA's. I like the FA's signings this year and I like the plan he put together for the draft. The problem is however that when it came down to execution, I think he missed the target. I know the majority of the posters on here like what TT did in the draft but I personally question over half the picks. It isn't about what guys we should have taken but more about the guys we took at the spots we were in. First off, I still think we failed to address the biggest need on this team, the O-Line. I know we took guys to fill those spots but IMO they are going to struggle to make the blocks required in this new blocking scheme. Being a coach I am familiar with alot of the techniques required. When you pick guys to run a Zone Blocking scheme they must be quick and agile, which they all are, but here lies the problem. To be quick and agile you are usually on the smaller side, as these guys are. When going up against bigger NFL D-Lineman you must possess a nastiness and be able to really finish a block. These guys will be outsized most of the time and they just do not have the aggresiveness to do whats required. They may get to the point of attack but once there they will be dominated if they do not learn to finish a block. Each and every one of these guys lack agressiveness at the "block-phase'. The second problem I have is the Ingle Martin pick. I know he has a cute name and may be a feel good story but in the 5th round of a draft on a 4-12 team with many needs a 3rd string QB was ridiculous. The guy likely would have been around much later, if not in FA. I know that everyone is rooting for him but I doubt you will ever see this kid start an NFL game. Abdul Hodge was an interesting pick. He may have a solid NFL Career but will have to do it with pure effort as his size will limit him. I like the kid but at this level he is just going to be to small to be a true impact player. I think alot of us are familiar with the NAME but this guy on the outside would likely be a nightmare. If he could play inside behind Barnett he could provide some energy but can't see him being a productive starter game in and game out. I also was not a big fan of the Blackmon pick but I am tired of writing. All in all, I think TT is approaching everything correctly but in the end will fall short when it comes to execution on the field. [/QUOTE]
