I know, I know - anything I ask Santa for can’t realistically be given until the new season. Hence this is my Christmas wishlist of things I’d like to see from this team in 2022,
- McVay to hand the offense over to a legitimate coordinator - all of it. I think McVay spends too much time focusing on the offensive side of the ball that he loses sight of glaring issues elsewhere. I’m not saying the new OC needs to completely reinvent the wheel but I think it would benefit the entire team to get a fresh perspective on the offense and also an OC we can hold accountable for any short comings.
- Hire a legitimate, proven DC. The Morris hiring was a mistake. We need to get someone who has proven to be successful as a DC in this league and let them lead the defensive side of the ball. We’ll experience some growing pains but I think the less McVay has to worry about on D, the better.
- Stop using premium picks on luxuries. Tutu Atwell immediately comes to mind. We had needs elsewhere, let’s use our earlier round picks to draft players we can have contribute sooner rather than later. 6th and 7th round picks may work out but we’re playing to win now, not 3-4 years from now. Or hell, fuck them picks and trade them for a proven player if one is available that fits an area of need.
- Hoping that the new OC commits to fixing our run game - draft a FB. Just having one on our roster to help the running game would be great. Our WR’s are great blockers but I’d much rather have a 6th round FB leading the way for Akers and Hendo.
- And last, get a new punter in. If for nothing else than competition. Hekker has been less than stellar and we need a weapon that can flip the field. If that new kicker means we let Hekker go, so be it.
