We added Jason Ferguson, Ayodele, Starks, Torbor and Merling to the front 7.. Notice the common denominator here? All of those players' strengths is to STOP THE RUN !

You guys may like the sexy picks like WR, QB and other sexy positions. But let me tell you that those sexy picks won't do anything unless we can run, block, and STOP the run first.

And that all starts upfront. J Long for offense, and now Merling on D.

Alot of you forget how easy it was for teams to run on us. Well Merling was the best run stuffer available. Unless you can stop the run, those sexy picks won't be able to do anything...

First, you need to build the foundation of the house, and this is what Parcells is doing. Parcells promised he would add size to this team, and we really needed that. Furthermore, we REALLY needed to stop the run..

This is a long rebuild here. It will take years to get us back on top.. This is not the time for the Sweed's and the sexy players.. That will come later. We are building from the ground up and going with the basics. The basics of being able to run and stop the run. The sexy picks will come in future years. You all will just have to be patient. Parcells is doing it the smart way.
 
Man are we ever going to be a better team when it comes to the fundamentals. We will be bigger and stronger.. The more I think about it the more I like the plan this regime is partaking here.

You gotta be able to be a great running team to sell the play action and suck up the D to pass.. And you gotta stop the run on D before you can confuse the opposing offense with your defensive schemes (open the playbook)

I love it ! This is the way to start the rebuild of an awful 1-15 team. From the ground up.. Don't worry, the sexy picks will come after the foundation is built. But first things first.

Baby steps baby steps :up:
 
I have no major problem with the Merling pick. He's a hustler, and a smart football player. However, if Taylor goes, this team has little pass rush. A disruptive outside LB is essential. Groves, please. PLEASE!?
 
I agree 100%...like they say, it all starts in the trenches

I agree with you, but am irritated with your condescending tone. You're not the only person out there who isn't seduced by "sexy" picks. You're not the only person who is patient.

Condescending tone is the entire reason people pontificate on the internet. It's the only language that resonates. You're in the wrong place if you're that irritated by forum "tone."
 
Next up we pick Henne, and get that big QB that Parcells loves with a strong arm, and we are on the right track. I also hope we move JT and can somehow get Groves.

Sorry. I didn't mean to generalize.

I just see "draft Sweed" threads everywhere and so many threads started on people wanting sexy pics instead of what this regime is really building for.

I should have said the "majority" of people. Not "everyone". My bad.

Henne is nothing special and is not as good a prospect as Beck was coming out last yr. It would be a waste of a pick IMO.

The only thing I hate so far is trading away BOOKER... Very silly move in my opinion.

Why? With Ronnie and Ricky, Booker would never see the field.




BTW - we just got Henne. Day 1 has been EXCELLENT.
 
Henne is a Parcell's QB. We will see how he does, but now we have a nice QB battle going.

How many picks do we have left?
 
One more OL, a TE, a DB and a WR I think are essential.

Sprinkle in Kevin Smith, and you have an awesome draft.
