Aside from LT, we dont have a single weakness on this team right now.

It just hit me today (btw yes i know this is my 2nd thread today, im pumped for the season, sue me) but aside from LT we have no weakness at all. Lets start with the secondary..

Secondary- Tillman, Bene, Norman, Boston, Melvin White, Coleman. Now thats a solid unit, factor in Harper and his opportunistic interceptions from time to time and thats a added bonus. 

LB corp- Does this one even need an explanation?

D line- While Star's foot is comcerning, lets assume he will be full health. CJ, Ealy, Addison, Alexander, Dwan Edwards, KK. You can scratch D line being a weakness because it clearly is not.

Now on the offensive side of the ball.

O line- Yes LT is the lone weak link here but with Kalil, Norwell, Trai and Williams/Remmers beasting in camp, the O line as a whole unit will be stout.

QB- No explanation needed

RB- If Stewie stays healthy he is primed for a pro bowl year, behind him Cameron Payne and Fozzy are solid.

WR-KB will beast, Funchess is beasting in camp and Ginn will be Ginn. Factor in Philly Brown and we are all set at WR

TE- No explanation needed, pro bowler.

FB- I expect a solid bounce back from Tolbert.

I cant remember the last time this team has been as complete and stacked as this team is right now, i challenge you to pick out one weakness aside from LT, you just wont be able to period.

Any thoughts on last year's weakest link? Special teams, I hope it's progressed. If not there is nothing special about our special teams. With the added distance to the extra point, gano will be huge for us. I am stoked that we have Ginn to return punts, will he also return kickoffs?

I feel good about special teams, there is only so much impact special teams can have. Ginn solidifies the return game, we got a new coach and I can't think of names but Gman signed a lot of players for special teams. Ginn replacing Bersin alone makes our special teams much better

I do think we have positions of concern. They're not necessarily weakness but it could go either way for me. Dline looks good but if star is out for an extended period of time and we have to rely on two older DT that are better off as rotational guys. Then we have to assume a healthy Charles Johnson can bring us some pass rush and that the Ealy and co are all going to take a step forward in development. 

Not really worried about the Dline but I don't count it as an automatic either.

I'd be willing to bet decent money that Roman Harper will be an opening day starter for us.  Ron loves his vets and Harper if history is any indication, Harper will have to really stink the joint up to get benched, at which point a youngster will come in and thoroughly out-perform him.

I think ST will be improved (they would have to be by default), but the statement "there is only so much impact special teams can have" is something I don't agree with. I forget the exact stat, but horrendous special teams play last year (mainly on coverage, protection for the punter, and returns) spotted an average of 5 points to the opposing team. That is a HUGE impact.

 

Under Rivera, special teams have been at best only slightly bad and at worst apocalyptically bad. We'll see about 2015.

Let's be real here. Our offense line still sucks and Shula still sucks. That's gonna affect how well we do this season. We still have a chance to make some noise but it will be difficult if the team doesn't adapt in those areas. We haven't really solved the problems yet, but time will tell...

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game.  And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that.  I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse.

      Do you think you will get a direct answer?  Icky giving up 5 pressures (playing hurt in his defense) by himself and Bryce only getting sacked once tells you he played well in the pocket.  He extended plays and converted some tough downs.

      What gets this team past this?

      By frankw · Posted

      I've been very apprehensive about potentially firing yet another head coach. But Canales needs to focus on being a head coach first and foremost and begin handing off some responsibilities like playcalling duties and begin overseeing the entire team or we need to assess all possible ideal HC candidates in the offseason.
