On defense:
1. Resign Bodden.
2. Acquire a dominant passrusher, either an OLB or DE. Draft or free agency doesn't matter, just get one. TBC as a rotation player is solid but for him to be your best pass rusher is woefully inadequate.
3. Draft Rolando McClain or if BB believes that Mckenzie is 'the guy' see how he develops.
4. Get more help at corner, a veteran CB who isn't washed up would be nice but CB help can be expensive so again we might have to go the draft route. Another Butler type would be very nice.
On offense.
1. Fix the offensive line. It's obvious that this is not the OL of 2007. Two years later and these guys are getting overpowered and pushed around by the Ravens DL.
2. Is Koppen getting pushed around too much? Is it high time to upgrade the interior of the OL? I think so. Would drafting a dominant guard to replace Neal help? I don't think you can really count on Neal after all the injuries over the year.
3. Acquire a real POWER HB. Give me an Eddie George or Jerome Bettis type who can run between the tackles amd move the pile backwards. Maroney is NOT a power HB. Fred Taylor isn't really a bull you over guy either. Bush as a free agent from Oakland is a possibility or get a guy from the draft.
4. Get a legit #3 WR option. Someone who can stretch the field and get open, also someone who is physical enough to run routes over the middle would be ideal. I know that the Pats MO has been to draft small, quick receivers, but I think we have enough of those types. Lets get an Anquin Boldin type that can make the tough catches and outjump the defender this time around.
Any other ideas on what needs fixing? Obviously there are a few pieces of dead wood that need cutting (AD). BB will need to identify who can help this team going forward and who can't and get rid of anyone detrimental to the cause of winning a championship. This is all. If you have anything to add to the plan, feel free.
