Oh great, another thread custom made for...optimism? Is that legal? lol

 

I love Pre Season. I like to pit my roster picks against the actual roster. Watching kids who are under huge pressure trying to show up. I will miss watching Sam. After waiting all Off Season, I can wait another week.

I can't wait. I am so excited for this season. I don't think we will be great,  but I am anxious to see if the rhile experiment is paying off. Need to see an improvement. 8 wins or more is what I expect.

I am stoked about our WRs. I think k they will be the best trio of starters in the league with even our 4th and 5th guys being better than most teams.number 3.

I also can't wait to see our d-line dominate and take pressure off of our secondary.

I think the secondary will be pretty good too, but I do think that it will be a little while before Horn reaches his full potential, so we will probably still see a lot of the 3 deep safety formations that we used last year for a while, which I am fine with since that formation allows Chinn to make plays all over the place. 

We do need to get Horn as ready asap so that we can start running more man coverage. Good qbs can pick apart all of the zone defenses if they can escape our pass rush.

 

That's the spirit.

You don't have to be hugely optimistic to still be excited. I don't think we will have double digit wins, but I can't wait to see how much/if rhule's system is going to pay off.

 

You can be excited for an outcome.

 

Being optimistic means you are excited for an outcome.

 

 

Oh, by the way. Goff seems to be on point. yea Lions

I like that it's a 1:00 Sunday game instead of being on a random Friday night or something.  That gives it more of a regular season feel even if it's going to be all backups.

This is the first preseason game we're getting under this regime so that's something kind of mildly different about it.  There is kind of a buzz still lingering with the new staff as opposed to being six or seven years deep into a Fox or Rivera staff where we know exactly who and what we're going to see.

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
