Re: What are you going to do with your team?

I have to franchises I'll be doing.

A Patriots one where I prepare the Patriots for a post-Brady time. In the Brady era I'll keep the same system in place as usual. A sped up Spread look with a lot of short passes and methodical drives. I'll probably keep Mallett around and see if I can build around him. If after two years or so that fails I'll draft a new QB. Ridley and Vereen will be huge parts of my offense and Gronkowski will likely be my primary receiver.

Defensively I'll probably also keep the Hybrid Multiple-D in place. I'm liking how the defense is looking as is. Devin McCourty is a Pro Bowl caliber safety. If Ras-I Dowling stays healthy I can develop him and Dennard will develop nicely. Arrington will probably be my fourth CB if Ras-I is healthy (and if I keep Talib). The linebacker corps is beastly with Jerod Mayo, Dont'a Hightower and Brandon Spikes sitting back there as well as Rob Ninkovich sometimes playing as an OLB. Defensive line is looking decent but has room to grow. Chandler Jones will be a beast of a lineman and Ninkovich can hold his own. Wilfork is Wilfork but I'll have to look to replace him a few years down the old as he begins to slow down.

The other franchise is the Eagles. I'll give Mike Vick one more year to perform in the Spread and if he fails I'll either probably work with Barkley in either a West Coast or a Spread. LeSean McCoy will be my primary player offensively. #1 thing on my mind with that team is improving that offensive line though. Defensively I might either use Hybrid Mutliple or the 4-3. If I can get a large enough guy that can prevent runs up the gut I will run a 3-4 (Kyle Love might work here). Trent Cole will be an impact player on the line but I'm looking at getting a big guy in the DT position. The linebacker corps had DeMeco Ryans who can be an impact player on the defense. I'm not too impressed with the rest of the defense though. The secondary also needs a fair amount of work. Brandon Boykin has the ability to turn into a good CB but he's a bit small. Otherwise they don't have much of anything in the secondary that I like. That'll probably need an overhaul.

The Eagles franchise is the more interesting to me as I actually have things I really need to add to the team.
