What changes would you make?

Believe it or not I don't believe major changes need to be made. The differences between 10-6 and 6-10 are very small usually involving schedule and injuries neither of which a franchise can do much about.

There has been discussion of a GM and I would agree that another bonefide football mind not directly tied to the ownership and their profit concerns or the head coach and their win at all costs concerns would be a very good first step. However I don't see that happening as Mikey appears to enjoy doing the job however ineffectively. I'm not sure I'd do anything differently if I ran the franchise because it's gotta be a blast running an NFL franchise. (just sayin')

Would I add a few more scouts . . . yeah. Again the more knowledge you can gleen from the better.

I agree with Defender and Shula that games are won in the trenches. Focus on strong lines and you stay in more games than not. QB is the most important position and we're set there for the next 6-10 years barring injury. Protect him with a strong line that also opens holes for whatever back you can get (I'm a great believer in the Bronco way). On defense everything begins on the line . . . freeing up linebackers, pressuring the QB to take the pressure off the secondary. Improve the line and you improve every other facet of your defense.

Again this team is not too far away. If they can stay away from the two bugs that have hit them recently . . . thugs getting suspended and injuries . . . then I believe that the playoffs are attainable. From there anything can happen. Just ask Giant fan.

You're from Tipp City and don't believe major changes are needed--you're a closet Browns fan. :lol:

Anyone who's seen my game knows I'm no pro. I do get out about once a week though.
