I think we are ok at TE as JJ is what Heath was without the blocking ability (make the catch to move the chains) and that is enough. Coates just isnt going to cut it the rest were rookies who played quite well considering they are rookies. Next season we either get Bryant back or we draft a big tall fast guy who can catch, problem solved. Our biggest issue is still OLB. Dupree is fine, but we can't afford to draft our replacement for JH. We need to get a premier pass rusher via FA. Yes it will cost a lot, but then we can draft another safety and some DL depth this year and get our next OLB next year to groom. Yeah I know, we dont spend big money in FA, but hopefully someone up top was paying attention to the zero rush we had this last game and will decide to bite the bullet. We have more cap room than as long as I can remember, Ben is in his final few years so I think now is the time go get someone that will make a difference. At the start of this season, I was hopeful our younger guys would get more experience, they did. I thought from the beginning we were 1-2 pieces away from a true run (OLB and DB were my thoughts) and that next season would be our year. I am happy overall with this years work, and I still think next season is ours to lose.
