Are you related to Dam? Obviously the post was about getting better from free agency. I guess I thought it was obvious that everyone hopes that the young players we have improve. We haven't upgraded the talent though.

Factor in all those guys coming back healthy and staying healthy will be big for us as well.

Anyone related to Dam is also related to Pagano, I believe.

Two key points in response to this:

1) If you're focusing on free agency, you're missing the ball. The whole point of Ballard's strategy is drafting and development.
2) If they draft and develop well, they will be an improved team next year.

Everyone already knows this. As I said with your second point, that is pretty obvious.

It's also been pointed out that you don't have to only draft and develop well, but you can fill in some key spots via free agency. They don't have to go crazy like some of these teams do. This team needs depth along with starters in several spots.

Am I focused on free agency? Currently, yes, because this is the free agency period and they need more talent. I'm bored and waiting for them to sign someone like they did last year with Ebron.

Good to have Geathers back.

I agree that we still need to add competition at the safety position. I would like to have a combo safety who could play SS or FS.

That was the great thing about the few seasons/games that Bethea and Sanders had together...they were very much interchangeable in many situations.

You're obsessed with free agency.

Hardly. I have repeatedly said they could add some pieces without going overboard. I would just like them to use every chance to upgrade the talent. They did a good job using both last season.

They did, see Funchess.
