observations through 5 games

I feel so uncomfortable when Culpepper throws.

Mike Williams needs more touches. He made some great catches last week.

The run game cannot be abandoned. Fargas needed to spell jordan a lot more last week.

Even though the offensive line needs to get younger, the defensive line is more of a priority to get upgraded. I think we all agree we want a defensive lineman stud early in the draft.

Any others?

I don't think anything is going to be solved up front unless Terdell pulls his head out of his ass or we get a legitimate plugger. Having Tommy Kelly line up at NT is a poor option in the future, even if it's the only one we have right now.

i agree about terdell. i really hope that contract he got doesn't come back and bite us in the ass.

A stud Dlineman?How about 2.RDE and NT may be the top needs this upcoming draft.Calais would be nice.Thank god we traded for Warren.

Culpepper played like absolute crap. He was missing wide open guys by a good 5 yards and he was holding onto the ball way too long. I don't know why we came out passing or why we didn't use Rhodes when Jordan clearly wasn't himself.

Like you guys have said, the d-line was really exposed and definitely needs an upgrade. The bad news is we probably won't lose enough games to get the kind of pick that would allow us to draft Dorsey.

We need to stop the run.Dorsey is an UT we need a NT.

Raiders need a SS we need to play Huff a FS and get a true SS. Also I think Kelly and Burgess will be the only players that will return on the D-line next season. Robert Thomas may not be the long term answer at OLB but when given a chance he plays good football.

And for the offense we can not give up on the run, I like what Fargas has done this season he needs more carries. The O-line has played good until that SD game, get back to running the ball.

I agree with that statement. We need a fast stud WR, I think Desean Jackson is the way to go. Or we could go Limes if he's there in the second third.
