* OFFENSE:QB-Good, like the #2 add to develop
RB-very worried. Not sure we have a every down back. Heard zero from Blue thus far.
TE-pleasantly surprised with Spann-Ford emergence.
WR-Good, would love to see either Tolbert or Mingo take that next step.
OL-Good. Hearing good things about our tackles, but let's see how they perform when the pads go on.
DE-Good, probably our deepest position. Hearing good things about EZ, Sam.
DT-extremely worried. 3T should be fine, but just unproven talent at the 1T.
LB-very worried. Like Sanborn, but he has athletic limitations. Murray is by far the biggest concern cause his lack of instincts, I am expecting another Jaylon Smith. Marist I like the most, but still green.
CB-very worried. Booth/Muku have been playing outside corners with the 1's and getting roasted. Cannot expect a rookie coming off of an acl to start day 1.
S-Good. Watch for the Syracuse undrafted kid to make the team. Hoping for a bigger role for Thomas.
Coaching-Good. Confident schemes on both sided with be improved
Training Camp will determine if the front office has to go out and bring in a few veteran reinforcements.
QB2 - it's a wait and see, ..Milton is more of a project than reliable emergency backup - he's clearly more in a development stage. If Dak were to go down per injury for a couple of gmes or threee, how confident are you with milton to keep the ship afloat ?
i am glad we directed to a guy woth far more imposing physical tools, but we failed at doing that with trey Lance.
RB.. it's an unknown. Blue is promising potential but he's still an unknown.. Williams has question marks per post ACL form .. and Miles Sanders showed a shell of his ex-Philly slef in Carolina with Chubb emerging behind same makeshift OL ... Mafah ? .. a long shot 7th round pick ? Agree, it's too much of a cross fingers wait & see..
TE - Span has not played extensively in pass game in a reg season.. min-camps are shorts and jerseys , not hitting , jamming, tackling and pads ..
WR - the pickens trade has fan base excited and high optimistic- a far cry from last year's offseason do nothing .. what about the 3rd WR role ? Tolbert ? Mingo ?
Ryan Flournoy ? .. Turpin will play a role similar towhat Chiefs d owihth Xavier worthy .. jet sweeps, quick bubble screens, quick outs and curls near goal line .. misdirection handoffs & pitches .. the bid is to get him quickly in open field space as often as possible.
OL .. again it's only mini camp.. the reg season will be the tale all .. But How confident are you with the Backup OTs ? .. Asim Richards , Adeniji, Hakeem, & Cornelius, Ajani.. this looks real iffy right now .. OG backs TJ Bass, Rob Jones & Hoffman man the reserve interior.
* DEFENSE
on paper it look deep and promising at reserve DEs, but we need to find out if the starters can hold water per Williams, Turner & Breeland ...
interior is a concern with me .. Mazi maybe an average journeyman JAG, Solomon is more rotational, and we have rookies who could be practice squaddees at camps end.
Osa is the only sur thing at 3 tech..De ja vue as 2024, reinforcement emergency expected at camps end ..street vets or late round trade al Jon Hankins like.
-big question will be how eberflus will scheme Parsons in his 4 man front
LBs - i have low expectations for Overshown's return in 2025 .. Marist is my biggest hope, Sanborn may surprise, but i'm leary with Murray.. And draftee Shemar James could be Damon Clark 2.0 all athlete no instincts ..
CBs - a concern with me as questions with Diggs' knee,.. rookie Revel and Butler are still ACL mends,.. and why on earth is Booth stil lhere ? .. Elam may surpise on outside boundary, but reg season will tell. it's a reason Bills moved on fromx-1st rd guy.. IsDC eberflus mking mistake with Bland as slot vs outside boundary where he set NFL record for pick sixes..
Safety- i'm bidding for Thomas to overtake Hooker or Wilson .. he has knack for ball, and offers slot action too. Seems to have more range than either Hook/Wilson
Hook doesn't make enuff big plays , imo. and is Wilson limited the more field he has to cover ? Bell needs to prove his dep skills
* SPECIAL TEAMS - this is where i think we will miss Bones vs new SP coach Nick Sorenson ... Bones was instrumental in developing FG kicker Aubrey and Turpin as a returner .. both became Pro Bowlers under Bones ... and his unit was best ever in Cowboys history as i can remember in blocking punts..
maybe Jones thought he was too bravo and maverick chancing for their liking ..?
