Saints vs Raiders 7Pm Cent Friday

Adjustments & special teams. I thought defensive tackling was good. Special teams, not so much.

Biggest Concern(s):

1. Left Tackle

1a. Outside Linebacker

Players I'd like to see early (running with first, second string), extensively (at least three full series) are:

Terron Armstead, John Jenkins, Chase Thomas, Eric Martin, Kevin Reddick...

Let them get their reps, mistakes in and see what you've got; we know the starters on the roster already so let's see if they can do better...

Defensive adjustments and running game. Too bad for Smith I was hoping he could really make the adjustment but he is running on old legs. He is a hitter but just not made for this. Maybe like someone suggested we could trade him to a 4-3 and get something. I think we are going to have to look on the waver wire to bring someone in that can help. We all knew that our defense was going to be a work in progress overall I think we will at least be average and show improvement week to week but we are still going to be burned. Sean built this team initially for an offensive show and our defense did get old and just not panned out.

I voted lb.'s. ILB position needs to be tested. I would like to see how the secondary holds up.

I heard the Raiders lost their starting LT today.

I wonder who will end up being "that guy"... Payton always has one, first it was Arrington.. then Morgan.... The guy that just is signed then cut a dozen times.

Arringtons career in a nutshell:
3 years
9 catches
110 yards
1 Super Bowl ring in a year when he had no receptions or yards......

I'm guessing Kenny Stills.

I want to see the first string Defense get a stop during their first drive so people will quit crying. Whether that means the defense is improved or not no one knows. All I know is a lot of people are just concerned about that first drive being stopped or the sky will be falling.

Even if they get a three and out, the haters will be screaming "but it was just the Raiders"...
