5-11. Get McCoy or Bradford, at least 2 young offensive lineman, and a proven NFL Head coach.

Unless a couple of huge changes are made in play calling and/or unexpected help comes for the OL, we'll struggle to win four or five games. By the way, I expect the D to step it up immediately when Horton's sitting. His replacement was sensational in pre-season and I don't think it was an accident.

I'm with you on the number of games. After the last two games, it's hard to bet on them winning any. They will certainly win some, but would you bet on any of them? Probably not.

As for the defense, they were discussing on NFL radio yesterday. They said a big part of the problem is that they play one defensive scheme on a majority of their snaps when Orakpo is at LB. It puts Orakpo near the line of scrimmage because that is what he is good at doing. The problem, they said, is that constantly playing the same defense makes it easy for the opposing offense- they know what's coming before the play. They said they thought orakpo will eventually be a good LB, but he is limited currently and this hurts the defense scheme.
