Gimme Five

[Yankee Traveler]

Really underrated IMO. I think he's still with us?

83 years old.

He sang what all of us youngsters were going through.

War........................"I was much older then.........when I was young".

Sadly, we were never 'young' again.

Happy Monday Hooligans;

Gimme Five things Vrabel needs to do to kick start his tenure.

1. Secure his coaching staff. Whomever he plans to bring in he needs to do that as quickly as possible. This needs to happen so they can gather their thoughts and address team needs as they see it.

2. Schedule a meeting with RK, JK and Wolfe. Explain that he and his coaching staff need to be communicated with as it relates to player personal decisions. If they are going to be a team they need to work as one. He really needs to hammer this home.

3. IN FA do all they can to fill needs on one side of the ball. If we can secure picks that shore up the majority of needs on one side of the ball it allows more flexibility in the actual draft. As this is a defense heavy draft, I would like to see them address as many needs as possible on the offensive side of the ball.

4. Team Meeting: Call a team meeting yeah they are in the offseason call the damn meeting anyway. Set the expectations make it known that he demands more and that players not meeting the standard may be looking for work elsewhere. Let it be known that every position is up for grabs, emphasize off season conditioning

5. Avoid the media as much as he is allowed to. Be cautious of the words you choose, set the tone that what takes place in the locker room, stays in the locker room.

1) Agreed.

3) Disagree. If he can secure an OT and a WR Great. If he can sign a DT and a CB also great. If he can sin a WR and a CB, then focus on OT and DT. Great too. Same if he signs an OT and a DT then drafts the smaller guys. Sign whoever top FA and any position of need then draft to supplement the weakest position.

4. Team Meeting: Call a team meeting yeah they are in the offseason call the damn meeting anyway. Set the expectations make it known that he demands more and that players not meeting the standard may be looking for work elsewhere. Let it be known that every position is up for grabs, emphasize off season conditioning

4) I like it.

5. Avoid the media as much as he is allowed to. Be cautious of the words you choose, set the tone that what takes place in the locker room, stays in the locker room.

5) I like Vrabel's press conferences. He will beat down a reporter for stupid questions, but he will destroy a reporter who asks demeaning questions.

You can only be young once-
But you can be immature forever!

1. Hire an OC
2. Hire a DC
3. Stratedize your draft plan with the group that will make the decisions. Cohesiveness is the primary goal.
4. Get Wolfe and the Krafts to fully open their FA wallet and go secure 2-3 top FAs.
5. Memo or Zoom Chat with the players. Down and dirty this is what will be expected day 1...If the players don't like it, let him know and he'll see if he can find you a new home.
