That being said I am a little worried about the RB situation, esp if Kamara has a suspension. If not he he is still likely to miss a handful of games with injuries. So, I say we have a few question marks at RB. I also don’t like our TE situation unless the Krull steps up. So the RB and TE question marks are worrisome issues just like Winston had at Tampa even though he had good WRs.

i do think Payton drilled into him to not thrown INTs..so that kept him down. But so did the lack of quality receivers and TEs. Maybe Payton told him to keep things in check because he felt he didn’t have TEs or WRs that could be trusted to make plays. That happened to Drew in the playoff loss to tampa…his TE fumbled and his WRs weren’t stepping up without a healthy Thomas.

You are right though that the proof will be on the field. I am very optimistic.

Sure wished we still had Dan Campbell coaching TEs; like Dan Roushar, but not sure how his duties lay out between TEs and Run Game Coordinator...

We also just added Kahale Warring who's got a poor history of staying healthy, but he's athletically a dancing bear; fingers crossed?

Krull left Florida because he was stuck behind Kyle Pitts on the depth chart so he transferred to Pitt and though he only had one season, it was an impressive one...

Quietly optimistic about the depth of the TE position; but as we get into Training Camp/PreSeason, you may recall this conversation...
