#1. Linebackers (and we've neglected this way too long).

Defensive Coordinator, Defensive Line (run stuffer middle open way to much) LINEBACKERS, and offensive line.

Primarily defense in the draft. need pretty much every single position, LB is the most glaringly obvious. a stud MLB would be the single biggest upgrade this team could get.

Fix the holes on on defense. Get the o-line settled. Get Jones, IAQ, Maxwell and Tannehill back healthy and ready to go.

Joke? Moore did everything you expect from a backup QB. He was never going to carry a flawed team to a playoff win though.

A terrible play call, terribly executed.

Just a list of shit id like to see happen.

Sign Martellus Bennett. Would be a great signing for the red zone and run blocking and shouldnt be overly expensive. A quality, threat of a TE, would help Tannehill and this offense tremendously.
Draft an OLB in the 1st round. Our Lb's are fuckin horrific. Sorry to say so. but they are horrific. Not only need a 1st round pick, but a huge signing as well.
Sign/draft 2 guards. Yet again. This position, idk if you guys realize this, has been the problem for years now. Bushrod was quietly a horrific liability and i didnt see anyone post about it the entire year. And albert was horrific according to PFF. So Pouncey healthy, Tunsil to LT, and we are right back to where we were last summer. We need 2 guards, and we fucked up, and obviously fucked up, when we didnt draft lael collins that offseason, 2 years ago. That has been desperately obvious for years now and our front office is incapable of finding the right solution. And pressure directly up the middle is impossible to overcome as it has been for years now.
Get quality depth all over. this is easy to say, but it is even easier to do if it is a focus. Im sorry, but just follow PFF, for a few years and sign quality depth. We sign way to many guys who are just so clearly unanimously terrible according to all these sites, and it isnt as hard as this team makes it out to be.

I know if starters come back that were injured, the rebuilding is not that bad. But OL and Linebackers, w an emphasis on stopping the rush is needed.

Here are my thoughts:
1) Get healthy. lets not forget we were missing 7 starters from our original lineup including 2 pro bowlers and our Qb
2) We were a young team, especially with so many injuries. Offensively, 5 of our starters have 3 years or less starting experience in the NFL.
3) Upgrade LB. Draft a LB in the 1st or 2nd round and then bring in a vet to compete
4) Develop CB's. Our CB's were young and it showed. They showed some promise although they have a ways to go
5) Draft a G/C. We need more reliability from the C and T spot. If we draft G, move Tunsil to LT and save money on Albert's contract
6) Draft a TE in the first couple rounds. We need a viable red zone threat
Develop CB's. Our CB's were young and it showed. They showed some promise although they have a ways to go

Need to be able to stop the run. This bleeding is now a whopping 2 1/2 seasons. It is a snow ball effect. And puts the offense also out of place. It is obvious it is LBs.

If Wake retires, DE becomes a bigger priority than LB.

Wake will never retire they will have to carry him off the field to retirement! I wish the rest of the team played with his passion!

Wake seems to be healthy and playing at a high level. But we have to get younger at DE

I think the first thing we and our front office need to figure out is what to do with branden Albert...

Then the obvious..middle linebacker, strong side linebacker, def end..probably two guards.

Yeah, we need a franchise linebacker. It's that simple. A quarterback of the defense. A Zach Thomas, a Ray Lewis. Add another linebacker while we're at it. Let the injured guys get healthy and let's just keep building and improving while moving forward.

1. Get a REAL DC!
2. LB
3. More LBs
4. CB
5. DE
6. OL

The best thing that could happen at this point is if some team is crazy enough to take a chance on VJ. I hope Denver gets him. I would give it 3 years and Elway will fire VJ. Maybe VJ can get another DB coaching position after that.

Gase = Genius

Vance Joseph = Is a BUM!!! Needs to be fired ASAP!!!

You guys criticizing VJ, while i dont think he is the best thing since sliced bread, need to lighten up. We literally have 0 personnel to be a good defense. Our S's, after Jones and Quddus who got injured, are complete trash. Healthy, they were great. But we need quality depth. Our Lb's? Complete and utter trash. Including Alonso. He might be Ok or acceptable, but he stinks as a lead LB. and anyone who isnt a home or who actually watches tape of him would agree. Our Cb's? Solid, but need to improve still. If Maxwell couldcome back and be the same, that would be awesome, but, we need to keep adding to our Cb's, As far as DE, we miss a guy like Odrick who was solid but he is more of a 3-4 DE or a 4-3 DT, but we need to add to our Dl. Dion Jordan being solid would be a huge help.

I'm not sure it was a dig at Moore. MM is a free agent.
