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.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
    • I saw Brooks maybe a few weeks ago, he was walking pretty normally. of course he wasnt running, jumping and cutting.
