Here is a quote from Gene Smith:
"Winning starts up front," Smith said shortly after his promotion. "I don't think you can ever be strong enough in the offensive and defensive line. You have to have people up front on both sides of the ball that can play downhill, that can help you win football games."
How should we take this? We should take this to mean that our new GM will draft an area of need during the 2009 draft. An area of need that has been largely ignored for about 4 years. Gene wants to build up the trenches.
The linemen, on both sides of the ball, are the most important players in the game. Imagine Tom Brady getting rushed around and being sacked the entire Super Bowl. Even Brady wouldn't be able to win-Oh Wait, that happened!
Gene will draft the real "BIG Uglies" and we will win because of it. Look for a DB as well, either SS or CB. More likely Corner because Brian Williams can play SS for now.
This is all strategy, however, because Gene will stick to his board and whoever he feels to be the Best Available Player (BAP) will be drafted. This is just a possible clue as to what that board look like.
