good points. a lot of the skill picks were made at the expense of a decent line. And i think we would be better had more resources been spent on the lines. (my dad used to harp on this year in and year out in the mid-late 90's and early 2000's) butler, and whatever input levy had, didnt do terribly well stocking the team in the late 90's.
the difference we have in views of marv, is that you feel he will stick to how he ran things when butler was a GM. How much of those drafts were marv's ideas, i dont know. I think he is building a team, and started with the defense. i feel that he'll address our other needs this coming offseason, including OL, LB, and DE.
MArv has always said that to win you have to run and stop the run. I am hoping and believing he sticks to his guns, and makes a good effort to shoring up our OL this offseason. He'll have a season under his belt as GM, and will have seen the team play and will make the adjustments necessary.
on our existing line, i see the biggest needs in the offseason at LT and RG. Sure upgrades would help at the other positions, and it may take a few years to build a dominant line, but this team can go so much father even with an above average line.
And i think that by addressing LT and RG in the offseason we can be an above average line next year.
