Initial takeaways here :

- DCarr likes to practice "sleeveless". Must be a Cali thing :p
- Moreau's quality of LIFE is GOOD & he's feeling good
- LBs appear smallish (excluding DD) & depth is thin & inexperienced
- Rashid appears to have added a little "bulk" & also changed numbers
- Cam J still loves the game (put up the banner when he's done)
- AT Perry has a lot of work to do if he wants to make the team
- Adebo isn't a "lock" at CB2 (Taylor is hungry & has swag)
- WR spot #4-6 must make a lasting impression on special teams/gunner to get a roster spot

Can't wait for camp :bng:

LB worries me.
WR still feels incomplete. Maybe MT is the answer.
D Line - so many new faces expected to fill significant minutes
O Line - health is key (again)
Love our secondary this year
Biggest concern is the sheer volume of changes from players to coaches...it's been a lot for one offseason and shouldn't be discounted as a major factor.

Agree with all of this 100%.
Why do I feel a little antsy about LB more than anything else on D?

Because we have little depth/experience/talent there after our two starters. I’ve ranted about the lack of linebacker attention before.

At least now it can’t be said that Allen isn’t running “his” team with the guys he chose.

Wide Receiver seems like a deep position for us. Much deeper than prior years.

Michael Thomas
Chris Olave
Rashid Shaheed
Bryan Edwards
James Washington
A.T. Perry
Tre’Quan Smith

That’s good depth. Not to mention Juwan Johnson and Foster Moreau. I don’t have many concerns there.

Sprinkle in the new kid, Malik Flowers ... the SC St UDFA WR who will make the practice squad.

Not so sure 3Q makes the cut... we'll see.

I hope he doesn’t. I like Shaq Davis from SC State. With Bryan Edwards and James Washington both being former starters now serving as back ups I’m really confident at WR.

I mentioned any more FA money the team spends might be better used at other positions. However, the more I think about it I’ll say that:

IF everyone stays healthy (I Doubt)

and

IF the deal is short and affordable (anti-Bako prediction and also Unlikely)

Then having a skill position team of:

Thomas, Hopkins, Olave, Shaheed and Edwards at WR along with

Johnson, Hill, Foster, Krull at TE and

Willams, Miller , and Kamara at RB

IS pretty good and places us among top 5 in league IMO. That’s a lot of pieces to defend.

Hoping Krull steps up.
