This.  I think its a win win situation if we keep Monroe.  If we keep him and he stays healthy, he is just fine at LT, then we can move Stanley to G and our Line will be just fine.  He could also be depth.  But one thing I haven't seen mentioned and it doesn't make much sense, is having Monroe at G.  just a thought

 

It's surely a thought but I think Monroes skillset is better utilized at LT. He's not a great run blocker or mauler where Stanly is a fantastic Run blocker. That's probably why it's not mentioned lol

I think that with the injury history of Smith and Davis, plus the general feeling of ineffectiveness that Arrington brought to the table last year, it would be wise to bring in at least one veteran CB, I've said before, I wouldn't expect a starter, but a veteran would give us more competition and depth.

I agree with your assesment of Canady. Long term, he could be a sleeper, but I don't know about his effectiveness at this point in time. He could make it as a special teams player, but I think PS is probably more likely.

I think eventually we will add a corner, just not convinced it will be anybody relevant or even anybody who makes the final roster.

From the FO's perspective, here's how I see it:

1. They know Jimmy was recovering from Lisfranc, and probably factor that in heavily into his lack of production last season.

2. They like Shareece Wright far more than the fanbase does. 

3. They asked Arrington for a rather large paycut, but they also know that he spent a lot of time playing outside last season vs in the slot, and I think they expect him to be a primarily slot corner this season. He's historically actually been pretty good there.

4. They LOVE Will Davis. Things could easily be different if he doesn't get hurt. I think they view him as a quality starter-potential player.

Personally, I thought our safeties had a lot more to do with our poor secondary play (which improved tremendously) than the corners did. Our corners aren't going to be great, but that's required in order to win in this league. Better play from our safeties should yield better play from our corners.

I agree with what you said except for the Safety play. I believe that was to do to the lack of pas rush. You can play coverage all day, but if no one gets to the QB your secondary will get thrashed. Hopefully with Suggs back we get back after the QB again.

Does anyone think freeney will come, and Ozzie will wait for a bargain lb to pop up.
