How excited are you to see the Defense this year!!

Honestly, I'm more concerned about Cooks getting up to speed than Jean-Baptiste. WR's we've drafted early seem to need a "red shirt" year to get things going. (Looking at you, Robert Meachem.)

I've always had the feeling when listening to meachem talk in interviews that he's never been the brightest kid in the class and the reason he didnt play his rookie season is because payton was unhappy that meachem couldnt grasp the offense - lining up in the wrong spot etc

cooks has played in a similar type offense to ours with the same route concepts, plus he seems to be a smart guy so I don't think he will struggle at all

I don't know if he ever really got it going. I never much cared for his play.He was good enough but not the difference maker you hope to get as a first round wipeout.
