handful of players we shouldnt have let go.....but who you tellin'?
we had millions come off the books, and we were a nonfactor in free agency, leaving this team in the situation it's currently in. No depth, and gaping holes at certain positions.</P>

Sorry but I just disagree. We didn't have many positions that we had to address in free agency.
WE lost 2 guys on the liune, but we had Beatty ready to come in and we gave Baas a big deal.
We signed Bradshaw at a good contract.
We felt fine at WR with Hixon back.
We felt fine at CB with T2 and Princ ehealthy and Ross in a contract year
I mean besides letting Smith go, I really can't kill Reese for anything. It ain't his fault Oakland overpaid for Boss
It seems Pascoe regressed at FBack, but we did put our hate in for Leach and just didn't get him
[/quote]</P>
The one thing you blame him for (Smith) is the one thing I give him a pass for. Smith would have been a terrible signing if we tried to match Philly. Thats was one of the dumbest signings of all time by Philly. They already have Jason Avant to do what Smith does. The docs told our FO that SS was still a ways away. I think they were probably right. I don't see Smith doing anything in Philly.</P>
That aside...stop stalking me in other threads.</P>

yo im just sayin', we cut half the o-line, signed a center, let 2 of our better players walk(not that we can REALLY prevent that, but dont get me started on the smith thing)....and we really didn't add any depth to our LBs or 2ndary....Prince, sure...but you dont rely on a rookie coming out of the gates. specifically at CB.</p>
I'm kind of over it all to be honest...after the past few seasons' collapses....I'm just kind of at that point I guess.
I just want to clear house. The entire staff, starting with the athletic training staff and conditioners. lol
new coaches! new coordinators! the works!!
also, Reese is no victim here....give him the axe too....</p>
SSSSSSSSSSSEE YA!</p>[/quote]
Smith is the only thing I can't argue and I agree...
but u said two of our better players? Who is the other one your referring to - Cofield or Boss? Honestly not that it matters though because our DTs have never looked better and TE role is being filled nicely. But just curious as to who you are referring?
We didn't add depth to our LBs? Thats because we have 4 rookies who looked awesome lol. Why would we add?
SEcondary? We drafted Sash, Prince and resigned Grant. Added wtih Rolle, Phillips, T2, Webster, and Ross.
Reese actually did a great job putting this team together and ur smoking that moorehead **** if u think hes going anywhere

We didn't want to. And I'm fine with that. You were just star struck because you were twitter buddies.</P>
Smith is not healthy and will struggle all season.</P>

we can talk about specifics...but it just comes down to our inability to adapts and evolve, like you all have been mentioning recently. we're stale...
realistically you cant replace your entire roster with rookies. granted i know that wasn't our intention or anything, but...we have alot of them, and that wasnt our style really.</P>
I'm just upset is all I guess, we all know how frustrating it has been to see this team come off a superbowl and do a whole ton of NOTHING since....</P>
