This is it. We can hit on every draft pick, if we’re rolling out 40+ year old edge players, backup olineman and special teamers playing LB, forget it.Stay healthy.

I think an awful lot of the FH brothers want to double down on what didn't work... for instance...
1) Drafting another undersized speed reciever (claiming that more speed could add to the speed we already have... and give better coverage when Hill or Waddle are injured).
2) Drafting another 1st round DT to replace the one that just left. (Claiming... I'm not sure exactly... umm... he'd be just like Wilkins and... investing in DTs puts us over the top?)
3) Drafting another CB or a Safety that likely wouldn't start... because, umm... I'm not sure how this one helps either. I guess they think a rookie would immediately be ahead of Cam Smith and Ethan Bonner.
I would think the way forward would be to improve the areas where we were unsuccessful...
1) O Line quality and depth.
2) Pass protection from our RBs and an ability to actually catch an outlet pass regularly.
3) Some size at WR.
4) Another Edge as every team rotates them.
So I guess I don't get it.
Because that's what they do! One of these years this is bound to change, but I don't see that happening with Grier and McDaniel running things. And, Ross has shown that he ONLY hires Head Coaches who have little to no real experience as a Coordinator, so that doesn't help either.The sucky part is we could start 9-0 and all of us would still be waiting for the collapse lol
This is what I don't understand. Miami is in the odd position of being the only warm weather team in a division with three other cold weather teams. So, you'd think that they'd be somewhat used to playing in cold weather. IMO, the weather wasn't the biggest problem in KC, but the coaching decisions and playcalling combined with a few injuries.Need to stay away from having to play at Arrowhead in January, no matter how healthy we may or may not be.
Spk for yourself, you do? - LOLThe sucky part is we could start 9-0 and all of us would still be waiting for the collapse lol
A ticket!We all know, just getting to the playoffs is not enough.
Just winning one playoff game this year is not enough.
We need to get to the Superbowl.
In order to do that, the team needs to be healthy down the stretch....I don't know how to do that - if anyone does, please advise.
However, assuming we enter the playoffs healthy this year, and play a playoff game or two in mild weather, I like our chances.
Leading up the draft, this is what I think we need to do:
1) 1st Round - Draft a starting caliber Offensive Lineman (or stud DL);
2) 2nd Round Draft a stud DL for the rotation; OR, draft WR3 that has the skills & the moxie to win the #3 spot over Cracraft/Berrios/EZ.
3) Sign Calais Campbell - he's old yes, but he's a stud and would be a solid tall, rangy, beefy lineman to add to the rotation with the other guys. We need as many bodies in the trenches as possible - see last year.
4) MCD must run the ball more on 3rd & short;
5) Throw the ball to our TE's more (and throw to our RB's out of the backfield WAY more.)
6) Blitz more than Fangio did.
What are your thoughts on what we need to do draft wise/free agent wise/process wise - to get to (& win) the dance next year?
That roster was FAR from top 3.
Top 16 maybe.
You want to win? Build the team to win in the trenches.
