Special Teams in general is a liability along with coaching and any QB not named Dak . Sadly Sean Lee is just an injury prone player that cant really be counted on so I guess he is a liability

Zeke is somewhat of a liability in as much as we could pay him a fortune and he could be suspended or banned if his foolishness continues . Tyron can become a liability at any moment if his back goes out and he cant play we are sunk. Tyron needs to be healthy for this team to work properly

Unless Connor Williams has gotten stronger.

I truly believe we drafted him in case Tyron can't go.

Taco has been much better so far this preseason. Like a different player.

It’s a good thing for him too, because he wouldn’t have made it into his 3rd year if he didn’t get much better.

He won’t start because he has better people in front of him but he can be part of a good rotation... which is better than he’s been in his first two years.

He has a chance to start the first two games with Quinn out.

If Crawford stays and is healthy (currently on PUP), then he'll "start" at RDE.
- If not (Assuming DLaw healthy for game 1) then it's between Taco, Armstrong and Hyder.
- Taco has played primarily RDE.
- Hyder has played primarily LDE.
- Armstrong has played both.

Taco did start the 7 games last season.

Heath?
Maher?
Taco?

Certain guys are targets for fan ire. Who’s #1?

An iffy kicker makes a good goat.

Taco isn't up for so much hate, as he isn't up for snaps. He'll get some hate as a wasted pick, but that's sunk cost.

The most obvious weakness that we'll put on the field as our first option is Heath playing in the box. He's not good at it. Heath is an over the top FS forced out of position for years. I thought he should have gotten the start over Woods in 2018. But he didn't, and instead was forced to play out of position at SS because Frazier just couldn't beat him out.

Heath's problem as an in the box SS are like his problems as a kicker. He's *solving* a problem the team has when it lacks alternatives. It's much like the hate Hayden used to get for showing up every game and being our best alternative at 1tech.

Frazier can't beat him out. Iloka can't. I haven't heard a peep about Donovan Wilson. It should be an easy upgrade to find. Not Heath's fault if they don't make that upgrade.

I think we drafted Williams to replace Collins. He'd be following the same path, LG to RT. Too bad McGovern tore his pec, or we might have seen Williams playing a lot more T this year. There was talk of more of it in the offseason.

But I suppose having both Williams and Collins gives us an option in case Tyron breaks down. Maybe that's why we haven't been pushing to trade Collins and get Williams to RT.

Having to make contingencies against Tyron's health is an unseen cost to the team every year. He's been worth it. We'll keep it up until he has a truly bad season. He's going to be a hard guy to move on from for intermittent health issues.

Im hoping he did anxious to see him against some good #1s and get a feel for his progress . Takes these young bucks a couple yrs to put on there full man weight and get strong in that position

Maher most likely to single handedly lose a game for this team this year. Dont see him here in December

The kicker will be the top points scorer on the team. Right now we have a kicker that could realistically miss 1/2 of his attempts. Not good.

He made 80% last year so I don't think 50% is a realistic projection.

I would like to see better than 80%, though.

Taco?

Do you guys watch the games at all?

LOL...…...Do YOU watch the games? So what exactly did Taco do last night against 2nd and 3rd stingers?

Tipped a pass that got thrown in his face because he couldnt get pressure? The guy simply gets stone walled all game long.
