Ok here we go.
First defense
Front four. Clark at one defensive end. Bennet would be the oldest on the defensive line at the other end.
Malik McDowell should he come back and play will provide him some rest or if Dion Jordan who is showing some potential,
Marcus Smith, Quentin Jefferson or Brandon Jackson can back up Clark. Avril may become a salary cap casualty. My favorite part defensive tackle Sheldon Jefferson has shown enough to get resigned also Nazir Jones has flashed greatness Jarran Reed is rock solid. Both Mcdowell and Quentin Jefferson can play inside also, Not sure the feeling on Garrison Smith.
Linebacker Wagner and Kj Wright are proven. The SAM position is a possible place to look for an upgrade. Yet 5 db;s is not an unusual formation on first and second down in today's NFL I am fine with this group.
Secondary still have three all pro's thught injury has been a factor the last two years. Yet the team invested heavy in the 2017 draft lI like what I have seen from Griffith good looking rookie. McDougal is a good safety nice free agent pick up. Time will tell on the other rookies. Also we will see what Lane and Maxwell have the remainder of this season. I still like this group. I still like this group.
I see no reason to blow up the defense.
Offense.
QB Russ is proven also I wish there was a competent running game for him as there were duiring the SB years. Russ is an eleite QB from what I see he is flat out carrying this offense. Not sure about the backups. (Kapernick?)
Wide receiver easily the strongest group on offense. We know what the big three Baldwin, Pichardson and Lockett bring. We were disappointed when Kasen Williams was let go yet I have seen enough of Darboh to feel optimistic. Resigning Paul Richardson is a must. This group passess.
Tight End Graham is the big Question Mark. He has been productive receiving however poor pass protection has left him inside blocking (not his strength) also does not have the chemistry with Russ that Baldwin has, Perhaps his salary can get better used somewhere else. Or will he take a pay cut. Willson is what he is a reseve. I like Vannet from what i hear he is a nice blocker I have not seen a large enough sample size to comment. . If Graham is let go I am not sure we have starter as playmaker. I wonder how McEvoy would work gaining some pounds at TE.
Running back hard group to judge considering the blocking. Carson looked fine I still need to see a larger sample size. Lacy will most likely not return. Lacy will most likely deservedly go the way of Percy Harvin. We saw last night when Davis went down Mckissic became the feature back. Mckissic looks good but not a number one feature back. Mr. Glass Prosise has a lot to offer yet no player I have ever heard of has produced while on IR or PUP. Next season if on the team(a big if) will be his last opportunity. Davis showed some pop a better sample size is required. I loved Rawls his rookie season looked like the next beast mode injuries and the poor blocking have held him back. Which leaves us to the next group. Jury is out on this group.I can see Carson Davis and Mckissic as the top three.
Offensive this is the group that requires a make over as usual. The Ifedi experiment at Right Tackle is a failure. Move to Guard or write off as a bust. Gary Gilliam last season was better than him. I wonder if Matt Tobin Rees Odhiambo or Pocic would be an ugrade. Next season I can see Fant or Brown starting there. Left Tackle Brown was the big investment however the team was super high on Fant who flat out beat out Joeckel in training camp. Brown has not practiced much yet he is proven. Should Fant turn out to be the player expected he and Brown will become a nice tackle combination, Backups will require attention. I maintain the biggest problem is the guard play. Joeckel showed me very little at best resign at low cost as a backup guard. Or let go and use his salary as part of the funding in resigning both Sheldon and Paul Richardson at heir respective positions. Ifediis probably better suited for guard as mentioned earlie though make no mistake the jury is still out on his justfying a first round pick.r. Ress Odhiambo or Pocic may employ the other position. Odhiambo was actually showing some improvement at left tackle though he was till not good. I think he can emerge as an excellent guard. Britt is solid atr center they say however the team's inabilty to pick up third and fourth and one up the middle calls that in to question. Perhaps drafting a center may become prudent. the biggest problem with the running game is nothing happening inside. That is the guards not the tackles.
Starting five Rt Fant Rg Ifedi c Britt LG Odhiambo Lt Brown Ifedi probably the biggest question mark This group could work.
On offense I see the offensive line and running back positions needing attention not a complete overhaul.
Pk Walsh srated strong is scaring me a little now.
Punter I hink we are ok.
Return Lockett is fine along with Mckissic.
Finally I love Pete on another post prior to the SB against the Patriots I was ready to anoit him the league's top head coach. Until that horiible goal ine play call. All good things end perhaps a change prior to an overhaul. Also contin
Tell me your thoughts team.
