I think its going to take a new head coach. I just dont see this team buying into Fox's plan anymore. He had a good run but this team needs a new attitude. In my opinion Cowher is the best man for the job. I know alot of people may disagree with me but he won a superbowl with a strong defense and an average QB at the time. I dont see there being a franchise QB out there that can turn this team around on his own. Its going to take a new scheme with the players already in place for the most part. There may be some minor shuffling especially on the D-line for the reasons you referred to but I dont think there's any specific position  upgrades thats going to create better than average results if Fox is still the coach.

I agree we need a more than serviceable #2 threat opposite Smitty. We need a duet at WR like we have at RB. The only problem with drafting WRs is that you often get a Mike Williams or Charles Rogers as opposed to a Calvin Johnson. We need a mammoth receiver (over 6'3" IMO) that can go get the tough catches across the middle, with a bit of a burner to him. And also one who can run block like Moose. Is that so much to ask for? LOL! Seriously though, that's the kind of guy that will make our QB play more consistent, our run game the most feared in the NFL, and keep our defense off the field for extended periods of the game.

As for DT, I agree we are in need there as well. I'm not sure we'll have total faith in the fat man when he comes back after his training camp knee injury. Hollis Thomas has been really great, but he's been in the league for what - 15 years now? I'd say he's not gonna be around much longer. We gotta get young in the middle. And Damien Lewis is no spring chicken either. However, we've got Corey Irvin and Tank Tyler on IR. Those guys are young enough to come back from injury and compete for Lewis' spot as the "speed DT".

Well I guess you all know I'm going with UNCPanther on this one. You can get DTs galore and put Larry Fitzgerald opposite Smitty if you could, but as long as Fox is allowing the draw play on 3rd and long, as long as we still refuse to blitz especially when we're being blitzed to death and loyalty to counter productive players costs us 5 games of our season (Talbot you forgot that game @ ATL we were down by a touchdown and 2 point conversion driving in the redzone and Jake throws a pick in the endzone), we will NEVER be consistent winners. Fox has proven that to us beyond a shadow of a doubt!  You gotta start with Fox if not you have what we have now a collection of wasted talent!
