00:00Price, how soon would be acceptable next year?

00:02They should be competitive next year.

00:04They should go from being whatever they're going to be

00:06and it's a tough five game finish that they have here

00:09except for the Colts.

00:12They're probably going to finish with three or four wins.

00:14You have to be seven eight nine wins next year.

00:16You have to be signaling competency and be the tough out

00:19that Gerard Mayo said that he wanted his team to be you have

00:22to be potent on defense.

00:25Far far far greater than you are now and I guess that's what

00:28troubles me about where they are is I felt the cornerback

00:32and edge were need positions going into this draft,

00:35you know, Marcus Jones and Jonathan Jones are fine,

00:38but they are physical mismatches at times against bigger

00:41receivers.

00:42So I think they needed another boundary corner.

00:43They definitely needed another edge rusher even prior to

00:47Matthew Judon leaving.

00:48So you add those two positions to offensive tackle and wide

00:51receiver and you have the four positions that aside from

00:53quarterback are the most coveted and highly paid in the

00:56league and they need to staff all for those positions.

01:00So that's why I say they need extreme urgency to address

01:04these things because it's not year one of a rebuild.

01:09It's your five of a rebuild.

01:11So they need to be more proactive than they have been instead

01:16of just this year has basically and you guys would agree with

01:18this and we've talked about it.

01:20We're just going to roll it out there and see how it looks

01:22and then we'll make some decisions afterwards.

01:24Well, yeah, okay.

01:25They better be hard decisions swiftly made.
