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.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By TD alt · Posted

      I don't believe it's as easy as saying that anyone believes that Rico had the 10th best day on offense. Grades are done in a vacuum inasmuch as they can be. By their very nature, skill positions are always going to account for more "production" in reference to stats, and RBs perhaps even more than WRs because they touch the ball more. You can't look at PFF's grading system, or any football grading/grading system (like perhaps Football Outsiders or Next Gen Stats), so simplistically. If a player has an excellent day, relative to his position, relative to his assignments, and relative to his number of snaps, then he should be graded highly. It's up to the reader (or the analyst, if you will) to put what you're seeing into context, and that's not only in relation to the grades, but the general situation (like whether a player is playing injured, who they're playing with or against---the general situation). Even the fact that (presumably) PFF or news outlets put out a list of the highest and lowest grades, that doesn't mean that said players were the most impactful of the day, it just means that they did or didn't do their job the best, based upon a certain set of parameters. PFF is a part of life for football analysts, talking heads, execs, coaches, players, and even fans (even if indirectly), all to varying degrees. It is a tool that is used by all 32 teams. Obviously it's not viewed so dismissively by franchises as a whole. Execs obviously don't look at it as a bunch of bozos making sh¡t up on the fly. Fans can berate it or swear by it, but it isn't going anywhere.  The only thing that I can tell you is that perspective and context matters.

      Im not big in to PFF but their guys were raving about his blocking along with our other skill players in the run game. https://youtu.be/D4kL_N97cFQ?si=sJWSZCUA1bj5otyx
