Ok, You are Dennis Allen

You are DA. You know this yr is it if you don't make the playoffs and probably win a game more than likely you're gone.
What are at least 5 moves you are going to make knowing you have to win this yr.
Please be real and don't say " Resign" Or " just keep doing what you're doing" or " Just keep chopping wood " Or some other lazy response.
For me it's
1, Hire Waldron for OC, Of the 3 guys mentioned as candidates he's the one that give us the best chance of winning now, Robinson and Pitcher have no play-calling experience and if I'm DA I don't need a period of time for them to figure it out and get a groove
2, If Waldron doesn't want his own OL coach fire Doug Marrone. The OL had regressed EVERY yr since we re-hired DM. 1st guy I'm calling is Roy Istvan the Ast OL coach for the Eagles, he's been learning from the best OL coach in the league Stoutland
3, Sign a GOOD LT in FA, We probably can't afford great but we can do good. Ram has said he'll be back let's hope he's better than he was last yr. if not he's a liability @ RT
4, Sign a GOOD edge rusher in FA , just like LT we can't afford a great one but a good one is in our reach.
5, In the draft unless someone like Bowers falls to 14 draft a starting or soon to be starting O lineman and a pass rusher.
6, Make developing Penning a PRIORITY
These are all based on what we know now. Underhill said he does not expect us to hire an OC before the senior bowl so maybe anther better qualified candidate becomes available
OK , What's your plan or why you don't like mine?



1. I'd kill the assumption that if I don't make the playoffs or win 10 games I'm gone. Making fear based decision is sure way to affirm the fear.
2. I'd hire the Coordinator from the Rams. If you're going to imitate McVay might as well get a guy who's been on his staff the entire time.
3. Marrone is fine, they just missed on Penning. Once the oline settled, they played well as a pass blocking unit.
4. Resign Peat for LT
5. Replace Zach Baun with Josh Uche
6. Walk away from Thomas, sign Hunter Renfrow in FA.
7. Draft OL or DL w/ 1st pick. Preferably OT because Ram may only have a year left
8. Develop Penning at OG
9. Defense needs more range from S position. Jordan Howden made some big gaffes w/ more playing time...he's not the answer at deep safety.
10. Potentially look at adding a young LB if round and value fit.
11. Draft a young NT, but not a behemoth, a smaller guy w/ get off who can split gaps quickly.
