Lovie Smith needs replaced!!! Hardy Nickerson needs replaced!!! Rod Smith is a keeper!!! Give him a pay raise. Gil Byrd needs replaced!!! Bob Ligasheski is a keeper. Our punting and field goals are bright spots. Coverage during kicking has been good overall. Luke Butkus needs replaced!!! Not much improvement of players under his leadership. Austin Clark needs replaced!!! Defense has under preformed!!! Andrew Hayes Stoker needs replaced!!! Our receivers are unable to catch the ball on a consistent basis. Cory Patterson is a keeper!!! Although he is new to college football I see him as an effective recruiting resource in the St. Louis area. Miles Smith needs replaced!!! Bad coverage plans and bad route taken for tackles. Our defensive back field is slow and weak. Needs a complete overhaul. Thad Ward is a keeper!!! Of our current running backs core only Corbin and Bonner are getting the job done. Epstein is my favorite running back but he is hurt.
