We kind a have a good team this year...
Before everyone freaks out ... Starts checking their calendars of good date to do a meth intervention or starts recommending helpful pharmaceuticals for delusions, hear me out ...
DL - lots of talk out there about us having a pretty decent DL and we are even getting mentioned in the same sentence as the Texans for best DL in the NFL. And when you look at it Bosa - Luiget - Mebane - Ingram is not a bad looking group. A little weaker on the depth maybe but even there, some decent talent we like.
CB - Verette and Hayward are a nice starting pair and again maybe some depth issues but some nice talent coming along with the younger guys. And I really like Desmond King at nickel, nice size close to the line.
S - Addai is still improving and plays best close to the line but his deep coverage is improving, not great but still. Lowery is meh but we have depth behind them that goes like 6 deep in decent backups so the drop off is really minimal. No we don't has 2 legit starters but we got really decent bench strength. I predict that our 2 of our Safety cuts will make the 53 for other teams this year.
LB - Granted weakest part of the D, but even here I think J. Brown is a keeper and I like Perriman on 1st and 2nd downs and if we get 2015-16 Perriman even better. Our weakness still with the coverage LB but even then, I'll take that as the weak link in the D everyday of the week.
Then on offense:
QB - Rivers ain't the reason we didn't make the playoffs, he is still a franchise QB and a strength not a weakness. Big time heart, plays hurt and he can sling it even when the WR's were no name, no talents.
RB - Gordon and Watt make a decent low rent imitation of LT and Lorenzo. 3rd year Gordon is going over 1,200 yards and double digit TD's but more importantly our new RB coach is going to keep Gordon fresh for the playoffs and not run him into the ground so he is wore out for the playoffs.
WR - I like the group AND the depth which goes 6 deep.
OL - on paper it looks better and appears stronger in the middle, some good backups are going to get cut. And we only need 1 of the rookies to start and both just might. Decent swing tackle depth.
Lastly, special teams, our weakest position group. Even here, I think our return group will be better than people think and our punter has a year more experience and should not suck as bad as last year.
Coaching - again I think it is improved. Head Coach looks to be changing attitudes and appears to be more of a Marty motivator than a Norv / McCoy light weight. And I think our biggest improvement as a team might come from the strength and conditioning coach, if he can cut down on the injuries and if he can boost the overall fitness level so we don't run out of gas with two minutes to go in the game we could see a huge turnaround this year.
Just sayin' ...
PS - excuse the spelling, think of it as a Stinky tribute ...
