    Um...

    Lynch had 338 touches in 2012 and rushing ypc of 5.0
    He had 337 touches in 2013 and rushing ypc of 4.2
    He had 317 touches in 2014 and a rushing ypc of 4.7

    So the first 2 years with Wilson, his touches are virtually the same and you might imagine 330 is probably the limit they want on his touches. Typically when RB's hit 28 their production decreases. So it's easy to imagine now that he is 28, they wanted to give him fewer touches to either prolong him a bit or get a higher ypc...and they did both.

    Funny thing is, he had 280 carries both this year and his rookie season. His rookie season his ypc was 4.0. It's 4.7 this year! Pretty darn good!!!

    If Mett has the same cast, we will have another terrible season no matter WHO the QB is as we couldn't protect them, WR's ran the wrong depths, dropped good passes and turned them into INT's...inconsistency all around.

    And while I'm a firm believer in defense wins championships and we need to upgrade on D more, we need 1 big time WR and to fix the OL. The 3 biggest holes on offense are a #1 WR, LG and RT. That's 3 holes and 2 of those we COULD fix in FA except I have little faith Webster signs the right people (see Levitre and Oher signings)!

    So if they don't fix at least 2 of those holes, our D will be living on the field again, we will be top 5 in WORST 3rd down conversion (again) and Webster and Whiz can fire themselves.

    Normally I advocate taking a position of strength in FA, especially if we can fill a need in the draft. But frankly, we need several playmakers if we want to do anything...both in FA AND the draft!!!

    Lg, rt, rb2, wr, rolb, mlb, fs, cb are the eight that absolutely need to be addressed excluding qb of course.

    C, fb, lolb, de, nt, ss, kr are seven that need to be seriously looked at or need to have some good competition in place behind them.

    So including the qb position we need to be looking at replacing 16 starters not 10.

    Zach Brown could be our other ILB, and if we re-sign Morgan that takes care of LOLB. Theres 4 OLB free agents who had good years who could be options for ROLB, and the team said CB is a weakness that will be addressed also.

    If the plan is to keep Mett thats even less to worry about, and if Griffin has a good front-7 he's a decent player.

    Theres also 2 NT's we might be able to sign away from their teams.

    Best way to look at this teams mess is not as a whole but piece by piece. As FA goes on those problems should be less each day.

    The idea is to get better, not almost get better.

    Morgan had a Morgan year. Two sacks against the Jaguars at the end of the season and 4.5 the rest of the year.

    When Derrick Morgan leaves no one will notice.
