Which potential starter worries you the most?

IMO, I think this may be a close running between Harper and Cason but I want to know from y'all. Also, let's try to avoid the quick one-liner OL quips.  

 

We're used to seeing Harper's mishaps over the years in NO....but Cason was a pretty concerning player for the Cardinals and they had a good defense in place last season.  I like White and Bene looks great, but RH is the one I'm iffy about the most.  He did great with Ron so that's what keeps me somewhat optimistic.    

 

I know about the OL situation but really think CB is the issue that's gonna hurt us against teams like the Saints.  Hard fact: Put Graham, Colston, Stills, and Cooks in with Brees in shotgun....what's gonna happen?  That's where I'm kinda shaky thinking about.  I honestly like our WRs, am indifferent to our OTs, but CB worries me outside of Bene and White.    

 

What say you?

The defense has been functioning with a "no-name" secondary for years now. As long as the front seven are doing their jobs, the secondary shouldn't be exposed that often.

 

I'd love to avoid the easy answer here but until further notice the most worrisome spot on the team is the offensive line, specifically the left tackle spot. If they can't protect Cam or get any kind of running production, multiple three and outs will wear down the defense and force the Panthers to play a style they aren't equipped to play.

    • At the moment? Absolutely not. Maybe if they drop the next three in a row and go into the deadline at 3-6 I can see an argument to be made to move Rico as he's on a 1yr deal. I'd rather keep Chuba's contract though and roll with ETN + JB next season. The team will have plenty of time to see how JB is looking going into the offseason a year-plus after his surgery to know whether or not they need to plan for another direction.
    • I forgot to mention my thoughts on the rushing grade! 😮 He ran his ass off both weeks. I can't remember the stat offhand but didn't he have something crazy like 120+ yards after contact vs. Dallas? Against Miami he had lanes as wide as the entirety of I-95 to run through which is why his rushing grade wasn't as high as this week's. He's ran like a man possessed and going to earn himself some money in the offseason.
    • I'm not sure how much I'm changing mid year, especially when we are seeing some success.    Most Pass Rushers are physically gifted. Scheme and personnel help, but you gotta have the Jimmys and Joes, especially at that position.    We will likely lose games when the other team can throw for 400 yards, and has multiple high level receivers, but I think at this point in the development of our franchise, we have to be ok with that. You can't address every single issue at once. Really looks like we have plugged some holes on offense, and definitely in run defense. In the next draft, if we hit on a CB, an ILB and a Pass rusher, we will be pretty dangerous.
