Good post and I like the overall premise. However, where do you think we need to churn the roster ?
We were the third or fourth youngest roster in the league last year. Plus, we have our core guys that you have to build around, and they are locked in due to guaranteed money.
I also don't think churning the OL is the way to go. At the very least, we need to introduce more competition, but we have to retain come continuity here. From what I understand of the OL, you can replace a Tackle on the edge easier due to him just having to play next to one guy so that's a positive for us, as we need to upgrade both. The problem is that the "grizzled veteran" next to each new OT only has one year of starting experience on either side. We'd have to go get a veteran FA to alleviate this, which goes counter to the "churn the roster with younger, hungrier guys" theme of the original post.
Not actually trying to debate here...just curious what folks think we need to churn and where ?
