Overall Thoughts
:shelby:
My thoughts on the team.. here it goes.
I think we should run 3 WR sets with Henry as the lone back. Our WR's with Moulds, Price and Reed are as good as you will find in the NFL for 1-3. USE THAT TO OUR ADVANTAGE. With those three lined up, this also gives Henry to break more big runs as the defense will play to cover the 3 wideouts. The wideouts give Drew more variables in the passing game. I really like the idea.
Offensive Line. I believe is the most underrated position on the team. Without it you can't run(unless you are Walter Payton) and pass successfully. There is a major difference between run blocking and pass blocking, we all know that. Let's hope our big boys have developed those skills. I think they have and will do OKAY for pass protection, but not be as fluid opening running lanes.
Defensive Line... We are weak, but with the signings, it will see how much the team has improved. I won't comment until I see it in the next game(s). Our lack of talent here is why the secondary is high in number of tackles.
Linebackers... While I think we are solid here, we can be better. If they are as good as everyone thinks they are, then they should make up for the difference of the weak DL. They haven't done that in the first 2 games(mind you they are PRE-SEASON games and I know they are played differently). I am not sold on the LB corp to be honest. I think there is room for improvement. See below.
Secondary... The strength of the defense in my opinion. The corners are top notch, nothing else needs said. Safety should be ok for the most part. The intriguing player is Wire. For now I say to play Jenkins at SS due to his experience, but Wire will be on the field for certain defensive packages(or I hope he will be). Here is a thought that I think needs to be considered. Wire was a LB in college and did a very good job of it. Everyone says he is everywhere on the field. He's 210lbs and I DO think he is big enough to play LB in the NFL. There are a couple other guys out there about the same size playing LB. I just saw a guy for the Broncos(name slips my mind now) on Monday night that was 215 and playing. Couple other guys.. Z. Thomas.. Ngyuen. Etc... They might be 220-225.. etc.. but everyone knows Wire is VERY STRONG. I don't know... if you ask me, I think he can play LB in the NFL. The RB's are no bigger in the NFL than they are in college, so he can tackle ok. TE's basically the same. The OL is usually the difference there. Get the best guys on the field is the motto. Just some food for thought.
Also.... Wire lead the team in running as a freshman in college, or so the bio said on him I read before. Any thoughts of moving him to Running Back in the coming years???? Just spitballing here.
No, I'm not on a band wagon here or anything. I just had some ideas about Wire and his past and thought I would throw some thoughts out there, since they made me think.
