One position group you’re confident about… one group you’re terrified about

Confident: Defensive Line, has the makings to being possibly one of the best in the league and studded with first round talent. Big Baby Brown is going to bring pressure and command double teams, Burns/Reddick will be double digit sack guys

 

Terrified: LB, this unit looks like a mess. With Sewell off the board I wanted Parsons. Carolina has been the closest thing to Linebacker U with studs like Greene, Mills, Morgan, Witherspoon, Davis, Beason, Kuechly. 
 

right now our best LB and most expensive defender is a rich mans version of James Anderson

Confident: Darnold and the Oline.  Mostly because I know choosing that will trigger people.

Terrified:  CB's and Safeties, Horn in particular.  I think our expectations are little high for a rookie corner.  I think he'll do well but  this first year is going to be rough.

Concerned about oline specifically LT and LG. As mentioned also LB but I hope the d-line and secondary are strong enough to “hide” some of the LB issues. In 2020, when Whitehead was benched for Carter the LB play  was “adequate” so hoping for at least the same this year. Also concerned about PK-Slye. 

confident in WR, TE, secondary and D-line.

Confident: non-QB offensive skill positions

Terrified: OL

 

That's more or less where I am.  I am pretty confident in the DL, too.  I'm originally from Missouri, so the OL needs to "show me" before I will accept the idea they have improved enough.

You feeling good about the TE situation? We should be set at RB and WR for a few years still. 

Honestly, yeah. There's been enough positive reports about Arnold and Tremble that I feel pretty good about TE. Are they gonna re-create prime Greg Olsen? Highly doubtful but I think we're decent there. It's the weakest link of our non-QB skill positions, but IMO that's more about our strength at WR and RB than it is a glaring weakness at TE.

It’s hard to be confident in the WRs when we have no idea what we’ll get from the QBs. DL is gonna eat tho 

I'm confident that our WRs are very good. If they're held back by the QB and/or OL, that's not on them. All they can do is run their routs and catch the balls that come their direction and I'm confident in them doing a good job of that.

I’m trying to let my hype not build too soon for the TEs yet but I’ve been happy with what I’ve read.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Icege · Posted

      You don't have to go through every game and point it out as we are discussing his GWDs. You specifically called out that he had GWDs because he is the reason the team is always playing from behind. We looked at those eight games and only Miami stands out as one where he put the team in a hole to begin with. You've added the Atlanta game where the team didn't score a TD but only kicked field goals. You're not trying to change what we're discussing to fit your feelings re: Bryce. That's not necessary. We are discussing GWDs per the thread topic. We have also shown that your opinion that the team has had to always come back due to Bryce was proven to be false as was the claim that "minus one game" was his fault. Appealing to emotion afterwards by trying to broadly paint the rest of the losses in the same way just doesn't work. Where in the Hell did you get that the entire point is the suggestion that BY is more clutch than Jake and/or Cam? It's giving something to be positive about in that Bryce has shown the ability to comeback and win games despite the calamity that might have taken place to put them behind to begin with. How is that blasphemy?

      Ikem Ekwonu is slated to GET PAID

      His run blocking is making up for his negatives in pass blocking right now.  He’ll still have pass blocking hiccups, but if they think he’s a critical part to the locker room and team construction, you probably re-sign him and try not to overpay.

      Coaching Carousel predictions

      Callahan is gone McDaniel and Taylor are happening Stefanski is a growing possibility. I mean, they need to get an offense going eventually.  Could see Morris as a surprise one.
