Everything. I can't remember a time where I was this excited about the youth, talent, and competition across the board. There's going to be a battle everywhere.
1) Probably Sean Lee getting back. He is the definition of a game changer. If he can stay healthy in the nickel package, our defense will improve significantly by that addition alone.
2) Pass rush. Mincey was playing better at the end of last year so we're already familiar with his game. Hardy, Lawrence improvement, Gregory, oh my.
3) Tyrone Crawford. His first year at a new position and coming off a torn achilles and he was still a wrecking ball. I'll be interested to see how much he improves with better players beside him and knowledge of what he needed to do to get better. I think he's going to be a monster.
4) Byron Jones. I expect growing pains and as much as some want him at Safety, he'll be replacing Sterling Moore in the nickel package and that's a significant upgrade if he plays near his potential.
5) OL. Collins/Leary battle. Green, Gibson, Weems battle for swing tackle. Will Collins get more reps at RT? Leary is a pretty stout dude at LG, Collins will have his hands full but I think it will be comparable and Collins will end up better in space, giving him an edge and another nasty guy on the OL capable of blowing up LB's and DB's at the 2nd level on that zone stretch we love to run. Weems seems to be the favorite but apparently Green had some really interesting sack/penalty numbers in college, if he can stay healthy he might surprise some people. Don't know how many Tackles we carry but I doubt he makes it to the PS.
6) The Receivers. People forget this will only be TW's third year. I expect him to solidify the #2 spot pretty handily over Street. How much has Street improved? Is he a capable backup if Dez or TW go down for any length of time? Who takes the last WR spot? We have a logjam for the last spot at WR, who gets it?
7) LB carousel. Just the amount of bodies at the position will make it interesting to see what the final depth chart will be.
8) RB's. I don't think I need to explain this one. Can a RB besides Randle make it through TC without injury?
It's going to be a great camp.
