That was a tough way for the season to go down. Well played Falcons.

With that being said we have a lot to look at this season. Some great some not so much.

We have a star in the making who is COLD blooded at QB. I don't think RW will have a sophomore slump. We are set boys and it will be great for a long time.

We need to upgrade the oline. I know people will not like this idea but we should be able to get a great value RG or RT in the draft. If you guys don't think that side of the line was a huge problem then I don't know what to tell you. Will JR, Carp and Moffit get better? I am sure. But I want them to be backups until they can get their crap together. I do not want to see another wiff on a DT.

Next we need to do something with our Dline. Look, I love "Big Red". He is a hell of a player but I need to get pass rush from our base package. Red does not get pressure on the qb and that is one of the needs for a DE. If we were to change the scheme though, we don't have 1 typical DE. Clemons and Bruce are not standard DEs. So it looks like we cannot just change schemes on dline. If we can change scheme we MUST get a DT who can work with Baine and get some pressure up the middle to get the qb flustered. If we want the d to take the next step pass rush is a must.

We could use an upgrade at WR. And we need to say goodbye to one of my favorite seahawks of all time. Trufant is not a nickle cb.

Lets just remember that this was one of the best seasons we have seen in a long time. I love this team and has a great chance of being very good for a long time. We have some things to fix but we are very young and getting better.

Can't argue with any of that.

Sorry, but I'm not down with giving Pete and JS any more picks for the OLINE -- How many high draft picks have we used for OLINE, and how many have turned out? One, I believe.

We need defensive line help and wide receivers, it is very simple.

I agree with the bit on Trufant. He gets consistently beat by the faster and more agile Slot WRs and it makes me rip my hair out lol.

I agree somewhat with the Oline bit. Giac and Sweezy were kinda aggravating with their bone headed plays and penalties. Personally i think Sweezy will be better with a full off season to dedicate to his craft. Remember he's played less than a year as an offensive lineman.

Breno on the other hand is fairly solid but i'd like to see about getting a young gun some work there on the right with a possible mid to late pick.

We absolutely need an interior pass rush. Jason Jones was the only Pass rusher we had at DT and thats not good enough especially when he goes down with an injury.

Another main thing is Depth. We need to get a few more solid back ups/fillers for injury purposes.

The problem is that those positions are very hard to find, especially were we draft. Elite DTs generaly go top 5 in the draft and don't usually hit the open market. Elite wr top 15, and are very expencive free agents(Rice). Drafting were we are is usually a great spot for a top notch G.

I can see there is a problem on the right side, and although we have spent picks to fix it, it is still broken. We can't just ignore it though. More picks are needed.

Then again PC/JS fixed the qb position, the DB problem, most of the LB problem, through the draft using a lot of overlooked undervalued players. Lets hope he can do the same with DT and RT G. DT will be one of the hardest positions though.
