ORIGINAL: Pager Big offseason for Rick: Find two competent interior guys. Probably need one in FA and one in the draft. The unfortunate situation, last year in a draft teeming with interior guys that could start day 1, we chose none of them. This year the draft is thin/not good/terrible for interior guys that can start. Need a WR that can stretch the field. If we have that, we can probably get by with a restructured contract Ruddy. So many teams have WRs picked after the third round that have promise. Who on our roster showed that kind of promise? Beebe for sure, but he's a 3rd down/slot kinda guy. Otherwise we need a TE that can stretch the field. Big offseason for Zimmer. Got outcoached in the majority of our losses: Mcvay/Rams. Nagy/Bears 2x, NE/Billy. I don't singularly blame him for the NO, BUF, or SEA losses. Needs to self-scout his performance and figure that s*** out asap. Big offseason for Cousins. Love his talent. Best option/choice we had and I'm excited for yr two. Horrible at improv. I don't know if you can fix it, but he needs to work on that. If the draft is weak for interior offensive lineman, Spielman better move heaven and earth to find 2 of them in FA. Honestly we need to have two significant upgrades to the interior OLine through trade or Free agency before the draft gets underway. Spielman exposed his arse making Tom Compton his big acquisition to the OLine last off-season.. and most of us beat that to death on the board, and simply hoped against hope that it would miraculously work out. No freakin chance. Was pleasantly surprised last year when Riley Reiff worked out well after initially hating the signing of Reiff/Remmers. Remmers needs to be on the same bus as Compton out of town tomorrow. I’d be watching Reiff closely, and maybe even moving him to RT (Which he wasn’t that good at) if O’Neill continues to progress. I look for two guards (Obviously), and Reiff’s replacement on either side. You guys make a good point to include trades. Nothing should be off the table. Just as important as OC, we need a stud/widely experienced Oline coach. Hopefully someone who has made the rounds and knows a lot of players from other teams. Their input should be critical to trade evals. Why I'm intrigued by Bill Callahan. I just realized tho, he is the assistant head coach and oline coach. Not sure how we could pry him away, Redskins could refuse an interview even if we offered similar situation (don't know contract situation).
