Both lines looked bad. Particularly the 2nd units.
-I'm hoping the addition of Mebane and Bosa spark the D-line a bit.
-The OLine still looked weak, even the starters.
RB''s - I think Farrow and Watt have earned their spots, and I'd like to see Swain on the PS could fill in for either.
WR's - with the surprise cut of Jones, I think Burse has a shot, and is also a punt returner.
TE's - Hunter Henry looks fine, and we didn't see Gates, McGrath isn't too bad.
CB's - I think Mager and Steve Williams are terrible, and I'd cut them both if someone decent comes across the waiver wire. I think the 3 penciled in starters are good.
Safeties - I like McCoil, and I like Phillips.
LB's - 1st we got to see of Brown, showed good speed. Dzubnar looks ahead of Perry.
Pass Rusher/OLB - looks like Emanuel and Ingram are starting. Tourek Williams is a nobody, and I don't care for any of the other camp fodder. Hopefully they can pick someone up who can rush the passer on 3rd downs, some vet that is maybe a one trick pony.
Honestly, and I don't put much stock into the preseason. The 0-16 Lions went 4-0 in the preseason. But this is a team with some talent (Rivers, Allen, Verrett, etc...), but such poor depth that I feel another disappointing season coming on.
Before the preseason, I thought they would be in the hunt. I see a 7 win or 6 win season coming. Win some games they shouldn't, lose some games they shouldn't, and generally just another frustrating year.
I'm always a coach backer. Hell, I supported Norv, I can support anyone. But I'm not getting a good feeling. The lines get pushed around. On both sides. Against pretty much every opponent.
I'm officially worried about the team, and Coach McCoy.
