Marvin's plan for next year.

The word "insightful" doesn't come to mind when I think of Curnutte.

The only thing his summary of obviousness reminds me of, is that they're simply going to have to hope guys like Geathers, Ratliff, Pollack and Wilkerson step up and do well next year.

I am hoping Geathers takes over Clemons role as a pass rushing specialist until he earns a full-time DE spot - as a result of signing or drafting a 3 down 4-3 DE who can provide more consistent production and get to the QB and cause more havoc in the opposing backfield.

There are many other positions that need to be addressed and James is not one of them, with the lack of

support from the saftey position both sides, Deltha and Tory had their hands full. I think Torys got one more year. I would like to see them rework Thortons contract, replace him with a FA and let Thorton take Powells job. Simmons is a person of interest......may be replaced?

The 1st pick in the draft must be a impact player. We need that immoveable object. I just don't see a

DT worth the pick falling to us at 24. The combine will sort this out.

Canute said something about Ratliff taking Torys job at corner.........say it ain't so.

You know, what pisses me off is last year, O'Neal was ok, and Tory was the pro-bowler. THis year, Tory was ok, and O'Neal is the pro-bowler. A year outside of going to the pro-bowl, now Tory is a goat and "won't likely be back"?

SCREW THAT NOISE, Tory is fine. Our secondary failed not because of our corners, but because Ohalete sucked, and KK is a good BACKUP, but not a true starter, and thus the safety help over the top wasn't there for the corners.

not to mention if law or bailey didn;t go, James would be.

I still like Tory but how many times did he get burned on the stop and go routes this year? Teams (Indy, Pittsburgh) took advantage of him and made some big plays over the top. That may be the fault of the safety I don't know. But getting beat consistently down the sideline was getting to be a routine occurence with him.

James is done, and his contract is too big. He's got to go.

The most surprising thing about the article was how soft the criticism of Schobel was worded and the missing mention of the cap savings that would result if John Thornton was cut loose. I'm not one of those who have slagged Thornton's play, and I'd be interested in keeping him around for less, but his current contract makes him a bubble guy.

I agree wholeheartedly on the Thornton think Hair. About Tory... I think he still has skills... but he, even more than Deltha, makes very costly gambles, and would greatly benefit from having a good safety back there.

But if you are right about his contract being too big... don't be surprised with Antonio Cromartie out of Florida State in the first round. We're not going to get a CB through FA. Marvin said that flat out... and if we cut our #2 guy without Ratliff showing he's ready, then CB becomes a big need in this draft... especially with so many SS out there in FA to be had, and plenty of quality 2nd round DT's in this draft.
