[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 487653, member: 5830"] The glimmer of hope isn't necessary. TT has a pretty clear pattern. He will sign free agents that represent a value but will not chase the big names. Woodson - nobody else wanted him...bargain. Pickett was not high on most people's radar...bargain. Cedric Benson...bargain. TT treats free agency like the stock market. He won't buy stocks that are soaring (big name free agents), he prefers to buy low and reap the benefits of those stocks/players outperforming. I have no problems with Rodell's plan, except for Krueger. I find it hard to believe that any Super Bowl free agent will come at a bargain. I also think that it's wishful thinking to plan on any rookies to contribute. As a Defensive Coordinator, my plan would be based upon available players with the [I]hope[/I] that a rookie or two will break into the starting roster. Assuming that Terrell Manning has his colitis under control, I think that both he and DJ Smith will battle Hawk for the starting job. You'll have Moses too but I think that he's a backup more than a starter. Teo would be an interesting pick, but I would focus my #1 and/or #2 pick on the defensive line. While it's easy to say that we won the Super Bowl with a huge IR list in 2010 - and therefore should have in 2012 - that's the exception and not the rule. On defense we had the following players on IR: Desmond Bishop, DJ Smith, Nick Perry, Sean Richardson, and Johnny Jones. Zombo was on PUP until November while Woodson, Matthews, and Shields missed some significant playing time too. Our DL played with only four healthy guys while Mike Neal and CJ Wilson were out of the lineup for bouts. This final paragraph isn't an excuse for the defense, it's a reason to get guys healthy and find a better way to utilize the talents that we have versus looking elsewhere. If we find a quality, undervalued FA somewhere for the defense, TT should go out and get him. Either way, we've got a lot of good young talent on the roster. [/QUOTE]
