How much have we improved from 2012?

[Marc Anthony]

I think we are so much better in some areas, but can't wait to see how Shula handles this offense. Going to be interesting to see.

You guys remember the dark days of when we started Mcclain and Fua at DT?

:Jc:

I don't agree with qb being the same and MLB being slightly better. They both have another year under their belts so both improve. Both with explode in production

yeah i was working on a similar writeup... OP covered it nicely though

OLB:  Somewhat Better.  Davis has shaken the rust off,while Beason begins the process, but Davis and Beason are tremendous football players.  Beason may take some time to surpass Anderson's production because he is learning and getting back into football shape, but do not discount the fact that beason makes others better.  The improvement lies in the addition of Chase Blackburn and AJ Klein. 

 

Good overall analysis. Nice job.

 

As to the part above discussing OLB, I think we all need to be mentally prepared to see a different Jon Beason. Don't be surprised if he plays a relatively minor role in the LB rotation, and he may never be the guy we remember from several years ago. He has had so little work this preseason, and my instincts tell me it's not just because they are trying to save him for when it counts.

 

I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but he has had some very difficult injuries for any professional athlete.

The thing that will hold us back from being a true playoff team is the offensive line, and I truly believe that. If they can play well I'm certain well be in the playoffs

I honestly feel like we're a solid o-line away from Super Bowl contenders. If we draft RT and RG 1 and 2 next year we may just be there.

Step 1 - run up the middle every play

 

Step 2 - celebrate beating the panthers

Our biggest deficiencies are at HC, OC and OL which are highly concerning but everything else minus WR looks great.

 

We really need a G but I guess they really see value in Gary Williams.

Well I think

 

LOL

with Clausen and St. Pierre at quarterback, Mike Goodson at running back, and Dante Rosario at TE

Remeber that Lions game two years ago that RB Lions literally just signed from their practice squad the prior week ran over 200 yds on us and like two TDs? I dont even rememher his name, Chris something I think. Dark days indeed
