Honestly, my big area of concern is that our entire offense just looks, I don't know, underwhelming? Passing game for first string looks meh, running game looks uninspired, line play looks mediocre.

I know that it is the pre-season and we aren't going to show much, but between Cam sailing a number of passes, the RBs basically running into the line and falling down and Kelvin moving like he's coming off of a knee injury, I'm a bit worried. Sure hope that it squares up before Denver. If we don't get them back for that last game, it might foretell a short season for us.

I don't know how you can choose anything other than the rookie corners, because they are the biggest unknown.

Depth concerns me, particularly at TE, and that does relate to the possibility of injury, but having two rooks at corner looks like a probability. Learning takes time, but experience is the best teacher. They will be on an island, learning on the job, and that's a little scary to me.

I don't think the season will be like last year. Offense will not be as good, defense will be ok, but will not have the big defensive stops they had last year.  Year will be hard to watch in certain points..Starting next week with Denver (Remmers)  I think Camp will remember Von and make some bad decisions with no help from receivers.

I'd argue that pass rush is the (slightly) bigger concern, as pass rush can cover for mediocre secondary play but much harder for it to be vice versa. If the rush is effective, the young CBs will be masked.

Miller is a concern but also the rookies have a bit of my concern.  I think Bradberry will do well w/DThomas but Emmanuel Sanders could be a problem.  Simian's looked pretty good arm wise.  I know he isn't as mentally evolved as Peyton was but he definitely looks like he can make the throws.

    • Anybody got a clue what this is supposed to mean? 🤔
    • I figured as much. Hopefully he's just resting up and will be ready for round 3 (if we make it that far.)  Sucks to see. Hes been our best defender (besides Slavin) in the playoffs so far.
    • I've never bought into the idea. There's just too much at stake, even for front office people. Jobs are lost, trust is lessened, lives are altered, reputations are damaged and more. Throw in that the average front office person isn't as young as the average player. They may not have ten years ahead of them to salvage their careers. Any given year could be their last. The only person not guaranteed to suffer some direct form of consequence from losing is the owner, and even there you still have problems (fan reaction, team reputation, revenue, etc). You've also got massive egos in play on that front so it can get personal. Mind you, I do accept that there are "fire sales" in order to build for the future, but even those have consequences. They don't exactly guarantee success either. Poorly run teams often just wind up in the same circumstance a few years down the road. Sorry gus, but my tinfoil hat just hasn't fit me for quite a while.
