lest ye forget -- half of those starters got cut

and davis is injured, beason is moving to weakside, connor is starting at middle linebacker... our entire defensive line is completely new minus brayton. and since moose retired, there's no proven wide receiver for Moore to go to when Smith is tripple covered. with fingers crossed, let's hope DJ can really step it up. but we'll see...

Damn.

The Don is pretty quick to point out these changes as negative. I agree that win streaks from season to season are ridiculous, especially under the circumstances of NO playing scrubs and us not even going to the post season.

However, I think these changes were largely necessary and are for the most part positive and at the very least intriguing. This will be the most interesting season since 2003 IMO.

What in the hell about the last several season's starters and potential would instill the slightest bit of confidence anyway?

yeah, davis played a HUGE role in that win streak didn't he? i wonder how they will recover from losing him.

oh yeah, brown and johnson sat on the bench for the whole game every game. how many proven receivers did moore have to go to when smitty broke his arm?

he will also have both RBs back in top health. he will have smith back. he will have more targets. he will have his Oline back. that defense, though with a bunch of new parts, will have the luxury of learning their roles and some familiarity of meeks not-so-new system. oh...and special teams...not going to suck as much. all the makings for good field position no matter which side of the ball takes the field.

lots of reasons to feel good about the season but go ahead....focus on that negative. lots of stuff to build on and that is the big thing for this year.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      Hard to interpret some of Brugler's opinions. Capable of running a robust route tree sounds like a lazy thing to say - I'm sure just about every slot TE is capable of running a full route tree... I want to know if he is currently able to (which from tape leads me to a no). Granted, it's pretty common for most receivers/TE not having a full route tree developed before they get drafted. Agility/acceleration after the catch hasn't shown up on his tape (at least his Oregon tape) for those dig/out breaking routes while it has for the seam and slant routes. Agree he has a good physical build and he is very good running seam routes. His build definitely helps him to shield defenders and create a large target point for the QB. Drops were a concern, but it could be focus drops just like T-Mac was/is prone to. Run blocking is an accurate statement, but again, we have only seen him run block in the slot/backfield - inline blocking is a whole different animal. With his athleticism, he definitely has a high ceiling. I just think he also has a low floor and don't like taking that big of a risk on a mid 1st rounder. I think this is a deep TE draft and would much rather target one in the 3rd or later. He's very boom or bust to me - bust in terms of being worth a 1st round pick, not an out of the NFL in a few years type bust. I feel like he gives me Evan Engram vibes. Not saying that Evan Engram was/is a bad NFL player, just that most people would agree he shouldn't have been drafted in the 1st.

      I mean I would love 6-1. It’s funny the hurricanes usually dominate the first game and win by three or four goals. But keep the second game close. It would be nice if it’s the reverse of that tonight.

      Brugler has him as TE1 and going to the Ravens in the first.  Apparently Sadiq's football IQ is pretty high (interviewed very well).  Also he was an WR and CB in high school.  This is why I always thought his route running was solid.  I'm sure it needs some polishing but for a TE it's pretty good. nfl.com Built like a bodyguard with a compact, well-defined frame. Capable of running a robust route tree. Gets in and out of breaks with good snap and separation. Vandalizes defensive seams with impunity against man coverage. Survives collisions with catches thanks to his hand strength. Shows off agility and acceleration after the catch. Fits up run blocks with proper positioning and base width. Grips and presses forward with moving feet to stay connected. -Again I don't know if we should take him but if he goes to the right team he could become a scary weapon at the next level.  I just like him as a prospect.
