Current concerns

[xwalker]

No, I'm someone who watched last season and saw passes falling short, going wild, and getting intercepted because they were just bad. Prove to me, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that dak has that talent. Go ahead.

Somewhere there are footprints in a sidewalk because construction workers could not prove to you that the concrete was wet.

QB-Dak and two backups who I have faith in to hold the fort down creates positive vibes. Still some concern over what's between his ears.

TE-a concern with the retirement of Witten. Ok is the best I can conjure at present. Marginally ok. Swaim, Schultz, and the other two should suffice.

WR-a true concern here. I think it will be ok but lots of questions here WR by committee.

Brown, Noah*
Cannon, K.D.
Earl, Malik
Gallup, Michael*
Hurns, Allen*
Lenoir Jr., Lance
Murdock, Marchie
Thompson, Deonte
Williams, Terrance*
Wilson, Cedrick*
Austin*

RB-EE, Austin, Smith, Scarborough FB-Olawale

OL-Starters: Smith, Willams, Fred, Martin, Collins* Fleming SOT. G-Edwards, Kadeem; Martin, Marcus; Robertson, Jay; Stanton, Dustin 2 Guards from the latter OT reserves: Campos, Jake; Johnson, Bryce; Jones, Jarron 2 from the OT reserves. We're in good shape here.

DE-

Armstrong, Dorance* *=starters
Charlton, Taco*
Ealy, Kony*
Hearns, James
Jones, Datone
Larkin, Austin
Lawrence, Demarcus*
Tapper, Charles
Gregory, Randy*

DT-

Crawford, Tyrone* 3/5 *=starter
Irving, David* 3/5
Ash, Richard
Collins, Maliek*-injured 8-12 weeks
Osborne, DeQuinton* 1/3
Price, Brian 1
Ross, Daniel 1/3
Ward, Jihad 3/5

Would like a better 3 to go with the other two DT but we're ok here. Look for some TC changes here.

LB-Lee*, Smith*, LVE*, Wilson*; Thomas 53. One more out of the rest. Will look outside team for another
Lanning, Joel-STs
Lee, Sean-WILL
March-Lillard , Justin-STs
Queiro, Kyle-listed as LB but probably SS
Shockley, Ed-rotation/STs
Smith, Jaylon-rotation all three; some Nickel
Thomas, Joe-R/ST
Vander Esch, Leighton-rotation MIKE/Nickel cover/ST
Wilson, Damien-rotation SAM/ST

S-Heath SS; Jones likely moves to CB; Frazier; Woods; Awuzie moves to FS. These are starters.

CB-Just too much movement and UDFAs to predict much. Jones likely outside starter. Lewis the other. Not sure about SL and Nickel. We're good here although one S with more experience is a pro but the con is taking up a roster spot of an up and comer.

I don't see Schultz beating out Rico Gathers, how could you forget about him?

WR- in this order
Hurns
Beas
T. Will
Austin
Thompson
Gallup--Maybe

 

[jobberone]

I don't see Schultz beating out Rico Gathers, how could you forget about him?

I didn't.

 

[jterrell]

Concerns:

Lead WR or producing enough at WR without one.
Special teams being totally overhauled with Rich stealing all our guys away to Oakland.
Safety play. Team to count heavily on young safeties.
Health: Led by Tyron and Sean Lee but health is always a concern.

 

[links18]

Awuzie looked good at corner. Are they saying they’re likely to switch him to safety?

So, move Jones back to corner and move Awuzie to safety? Am I supposed to say POSITION FLEX here?

 

[dallasdave]

I can count to 20 without dropping my britches

That was a good one.

 

[Darthkuriboh]

Somewhere there are footprints in a sidewalk because construction workers could not prove to you that the concrete was wet.

In other words, you can't

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

My concerns in order:

1. The 1T position

2. Linehan

3. Safety position

4. No true receiving mismatch

5. Lose of our ST coach

 

[Darthkuriboh]

you want proof beyond a shadow of a doubt? How about math

How about statistics, which say he was relatively mediocre (not awful, just mediocre) last season?

 

[waving monkey]

How about statistics, which say he was relatively mediocre (not awful, just mediocre) last season?

how about the year before 2016

 

[Darthkuriboh]

how about the year before 2016

yeah we had 3 QB's play in 2015 2 of which I would easily rate lower than prescott. I fail to see your point

and I yours. lets call it miscommunication

 

[pitt33]

did they say they putting Awuzie at safety ? I didnt hear that

Someone here mentioned it...

 

[Verdict]

No, I'm someone who watched last season and saw passes falling short, going wild, and getting intercepted because they were just bad. Prove to me, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that dak has that talent. Go ahead.

Why would anyone try to convince you of something you won't be open minded about. That's a pretty silly.

I'm open-minded to factual evidence. I'm not open to emotional appeals.

 

[jobberone]

Dak needs to grow some. But I have faith in him long term based on what I have seen since the late 50s.

 

[Cowpolk]

I don't see Schultz beating out Rico Gathers, how could you forget about him?

Shultz knows how to play tight end Rico is still learning

 

[jobberone]

I think Rico has better physical talent but he needs to grow into the position.

 

[JoeKing]

My current concern is Elliott messing up before the season starts, followed closely by Dak's cigar smoking giving him lung cancer or one of those respiratory diseases. Mike White better pan out for us.
