man i really hope you're right about tre boston. he was my biggest concern coming into the season with that depleted secondary.


Tre Boston was really my biggest concern on this list as well. I think he doesn't need to get too antsy back there and let the plays come to him. I'm also interested to see how well he tackles in the open field this year as well.

It seemed like almost every time Boston came in the game last year, he ended up making a play, so I'm not that concerned about him. He can cover a lot of ground out there and he's a team player.

I'm glad you put Mayo on the list Jeremy. Even last year, I noticed him making plays on ST's coverage units. He can definitely run and make a big hit. I'll be looking forward to seeing him play some more MLB in the remaining pre season games.

 

I'm disappointed that Williams isn't on the list, but I guess you can't have it all.

he has been routinely abused in pass coverage whenever he's asked to start. he has his moments (see: atlanta, christmas 2014) but then russell wilson ate him alive in the playoffs two games later. i don't know if he's overagressive or what but he often seems to get lost in space.and allow his man to get over the top.

i really hope he comes out and kicks everyone's ass.

Very nice list of players.  As others have commented, it's great to see Tre Boston on the list.  He's the only "surprise" to me in the sense that there hasn't been all that much focus on him in training camp.  But I do sense he's ready to have a very solid season.

It's a bit worrying that there's no DE on the list.  I know many of us were hoping that Delaire, Cox or Miley would shine and prove to be a breakout player who could eventually step in for CJ in case we don't renew CJ following this season.  Such a shame about Cox's back problems.  Hopefully Delaire will learn from his bad outing against Baltimore...

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
