offense is gonna have serious issues, anyone not named steve smith cant get open, lefell is a pretty bad #2 if not one of the worst in the league. 

 

Wr corps - i remember when devid gettleman said you dont trade a dollar for 3 dimes, well you got a whole bunch of dimes here outside of 89   Grade D+

 

RB's - D-Will looks done, as much as i like him i think his time is about up in the NFL. Stewart not healthy.  Grade C

 

O-line is old and overated, terrible depth, terrible talent overall really, amani is aweful and so is byron bell. why u people think otherwise i will never understand. Grade D

 

QB - Cam gonna be Cam. Grade A

 

Outside of Cam, Smith, and Olsen there is a huge lack of talent on offense

 

 

Defense

 

D-line  Amazing with good depth, beside fua. Grade A+

 

LB core  -  top 3 in the league if not the best, amazing depth. Grade A+

 

Safeties - turrible. Grade F

 

corners - average players, but these guys know how to abuse routes from the pressure cause by our d line. Grade C

This is a bit of a kneejerk reaction to a series of preseason games.

 

There are concerns on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball, sure, but the team has not forgotten how to play offense in the offseason anymore than our entire coaching staff is suddenly not fit to coach a PeeWee team / has forgotten that there are plays other than running up the middle and non-PA passes in the playbook.

 

Things will return to median as the actual season starts.  Maybe the offense is slightly worse, or hampered by bad OL play.  Maybe that's offset by better D play, maybe it's not.  But an indictment like bottom 3rd in the league without a single regular season snap played is both premature and silly.

 

I don't expect us to be as good as we'd like to be but our offense certainly won't be as bad as you're predicting either.

I disagree... last year we where top 12 offense .... I believe we improved with the addition of FA and key players returning from injury. Cam progression alone improves the offense & the amount of turnovers the defense will generate will giving the O plenty of times to score............ I say we are top 5 offense & defense..... (11-5)

 

Key  Role players

OL- Wharton, Scott, Bell , Amini

WR- Ginn, Lafell, Hixon , Gettis

TE- Williams

RB- Tolbert, Barner

Lafell is NOT the worst #2 in the league that's just laughable.

DWill is not "done" his offensive line needs to do him better though.

Charles Godfrey is not turrible. The ? Is beside him though. Not an F in anyway.

Far too pessimistic a view of this team as a whole. Just like every year the perceived strength will not be as dominant as we think and our perceived weakness will not be as bad as we think.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
