Many of the armchair GM's here were calling for Whaley and Marrones heads last week because of a poor showing in preseason and a sideline argument, in addition to criticizing their personnel moves. I for one believe they have this team pointed in the right direction at this point.
We have a VERY deep group of CB's (Gilmore, Graham, McKelvin, Robey), our LB corps looks legit and deep due to excellent draft choices (Alonzo, Brown) the last two years as well as fantastic FA moves (Spikes, Hughes). The OLine will take some time to gel but we have bookend tackles that were both steals and a young Guard that will be starting soon. The DLine is very talented and deep. Our WR group is going to be one of the better groups in the league if Manuel lets it rip and trusts them to go get the ball. To this point the risks he was willing to take on Henderson, M. Williams, Hughes, look like genius moves.
Manuel is obviously the lynch pin in the whole equation but they are bringing him along in the right manner. I realize it is one win, I realize it was not resounding, I realize we have a ways to go. But Whaley has been excellent IMO.
Flame away you miserable POS Op, Felch, et al.
