QB. Kind of. I wouldn't say I worry about it. It is what it is.

Kicker is more where I worry, because I have no idea what I'll get.

And maybe OL due to health concerns.

I'm actually pretty hopeful for Dak.
And I missed '16.

I'm not overly worried at any position, but there are a few I would either like to see upgrades or at least think we need to see how things shake out. In no particular order ...

SAFETY - Woods appears to be improving, Heath isn't as strong as we would like, and Wilson provides some upgrade hope based on his play in preseason. If Wilson is that upgrade, we have no problem, but if not, we will have to accept some level of mediocrity.

TE - I think Jarwin can be very good as a receiver, and all 3 TEs have good hands, but it's unclear how the TE's will be used. Witten could take too much time away from Jarwin.

DE - D-Law is obviously not an issue, but the other side is uncertain. There are some options, with Quinn being the best hope for significant pass rush from that side, but he is suspended for a couple of games, and how much he has left in the tank remains to be seen.

LG - like with the RDE, there are options, none of which I think would be terrible, but it's uncertain if this position will be strong or just able to hold down the fort playing between 2 All-Pro players.

. I'm thinking we need a third linebacker. I think I like the kid from New England backing up Smith left tackle offense. I still don't know what we have at left guard. Yes tight end upgrade. Center could be a concern if Freddy goes down again. But what team is solid with backups. This is the best I've seen with rotation in years this current Squad we have
Click to expand...

LB
  • Sean Lee is the 3rd LB.
  • Joe Thomas is the 4th LB. He is very similar to Hitchens when he was a starter here.
OT
  • Fleming is the backup OT. He is better at RT. He manages at LT but it's scary to watch.
  • There is no backup behind Fleming.
  • Knight started camp at OT but moved to OG after the 1st week. Maybe he will move back to OT.
OC
  • Looney might be the best backup Center they've ever had. He started all 16 games last season plus the 2 playoff games.
  • Redmond also plays Center.
  • Su'a-Filo as played some games at Center.

LG
  • At LG they currently have 5 backup options:
    • Su'a-Filo
    • Redmond
    • Looney
    • Knight
    • McGovern
TE
  • They likely play less 2 and 3 TE sets this year with Kellen Moore as the OC.
  • The injury issues with Jarwin & Schultz are a concern.

QB is the only thing that worries me. Dak has to step up in the redzone and give our guys a better chance to score. If we go from bottom 2 in scoring to atleast league average then our wins look like blow outs.

I thought Hitchens was a solid linebacker

You mean the guy in charge of making sure everybody gets there. The guy when the bus stops gets out and drags it along by himself. I'm too tired too long of a day to continue LOL

I know it's too bad Elliott trips over his own ego on the goal line. Because we could use him. Sarcasm obviously
