The rest of the NFL: you are on notice

 

We've got the sophomore sensation Luke Kuechly and rejuvenated to the max'd Thomas Davis leading this squad.

This defense right now is built off of an incredible foundation with a ferocious win every down attitude.  

 

Also, consider how young they are; this D is yout'ful:

 

Monsters Inc.

Hardy (25)

Johnson (27)

Star (23)

KK (24)

Addison (26)

D'wan (32, with a lot in the tank)

Alexander (23)

 

LB Fleet:

Kuechly (22)

Davis (30) 

Klein (22)

Blackburn (30) 

 

Ms & Co. in the back:

Mitchell (26)

Melvin White (23)

Munnerlyn (25)

Lester (25, small sample size so far but worth a shout)

Mikell (33; not young but playing damn well and proving to be a light for the others)  

 

This is a squad built for a longterm stay and a consistent top NFL group for 4+ years easy.  As long as Cam is doing what he can on the other end, we have the potential to be a consistent playoff team.  Yes, I know, one game at a time...but the potential is undoubtedly there.

...and pretend Fua isn't there

I continue to love the Mitchell signing more and more every week. 

 

For sure.  I was thrown off at first because as a Raider there seemed to be flags but they were really just disguises over his tenacity and ruthlessness.  If I feel as good at years end, he's one to lock up for longer no doubt.

    • I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan 
    • Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.
    • I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
