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.

James Anderson was better than Thompson tbf.

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.

    • It really is insane how they always try to rig the game vs Dallas. Two exceptions being our playoff games.    Had we lost it definitely would have been right up there with the 2014 Playoffs vs 49ers, Dallas 05, Saints 2018 Playoffs, and SB50 as all time rigged games. 
    • Say you don't understand PFF without saying you don't understand PFF... Every week seems like some of the same people are complaining about something they clearly don't understand.  I'm not saying they are the end all resource out there but once you understand their methodology you can start to appreciate some of their work. For example, their grading system isn't a high school grading system, try to look at some of it in relative terms.  Rico had an 82 rushing grade, that's pretty good.  I would be curious to know how that compares to every other running back this past weekend. Also, I think he had a few penalties, which if I'm not mistaken are graded pretty harshly.      
    • Can we go back to square one for a minute and remember what we paid for this guy and how he was sold?  He was like, the anti excuse. Makes everybody better, Did we get that?  I think the answer is still coming but so far you might can say that for a game or two.  Cam had issues with personnel every season almost. Horrible OL, but he had receivers. Decent to good OL no receivers. Etc. Bryce needs to stand up, or keep standing up, however you want to put it. It is big boy time in year 3. He doesn’t have to make the playoffs but there is a standard. We’ll see what happens.  But the excuses are just fuging tired.  ps, I mean let’s not crown him when he has franchise record production in two wins,.. let’s see when they stop that, how he does then.
