    I hear you on that!

    Those are all valid points.

    I think he can fill Smith's spot on KR, Wildcat, and 4th WR. However, depending on whether or not LT is still here, I could see him sliding into his slot, and playing the role you describe. A lot has to do with who stays and who goes. I like McKnight cause he has that versatility to play either position.

    Man do I wish we got Blount like I wanted this offseason. I think you were the only one that agreed with me on that. I still really want a pounder in the backfield with Greene.

    We can at least target John Clay or Roy Helu Jr. to make up for it.

    John Clay would be insane! Love that guys running style, and he's a cold weather Wisconsin guy. What's he projected at? Being he's a Jr, I have a feeling he might stay in school with the whole CBA thing going down.

    Helu is pretty badass too, I saw him play Missouri this year and get a shit ton of yards. He's a senior too, so he might be a better option. Hopefully they target a guy like this. We have a really good receiver corps, I really want a grinding style run game to go along with that. That kind of balance would be incredible!

    As of right now, they're both mid-round picks, third at most. That could be a problem since we have to give up a #2 for Cromartie.

    He was worth it. Can't really knock what we did there.

    Hopefully a pass rusher falls to us. The DL needs major help. However, I'd really like to add one of these guys with a mid pick. Then agan, Tanny isn't shy about trading up to get what he wants.

    If all falls into place, and Callahan takes over next season (which I'm hoping), I think we have a better chance of getting a pounder like these 2. Even though he ran the WC, I think he's all about having some bulldozers in the backfield.

    I'm REALLY hoping they plan to lean on Greene in the playoffs like last year. However, KC has a fairly weak pass defense, so I'm sure LT will get the call. Being that Schotty loves playing him in 75% of those situations. Who knows with that guy, I guess we will see!

    My top hope is still JJ Watt. I think the top DE talent is better than the top OLB this year, and the mid-round OLBs seem to be deeper.

    Either Callahan to help us focus more on the run or Cavanaugh to help Sanchez. So long as they hire from within I think we'll be best served. Having someone like

    Clay or Helu would be a great addition to Cavanaugh's schemes.

    I'll be fine to see LT get a ton of looks against KC if they're in the passing game and not runs up the middle on 1st and 10.

    HAS to come from within. Anyone who wants an outsider is out of their mind. Sanchez knows this offense to the T. We just need a new play caller, and a better overall philosophy on offense, not a new system.

    Greene would have had a 100+ yard game (on under 20 carries) the way he and the O line were playing. I think he should be the starting RB the rest of the way.

    I think the field had more to do with Tomlinson's lack of production in that game. I mean he's quick and shifty and likes to cut back, but that field was completely frozen. He really struggled trying to plant and cut.

    In that respect, Greene's downhill running style was perfect for this kind of game and it showed. He should have had over 20 carries.
