some brighter sides of this:
Re-shuffled OL's always need time to gel (or jell) - We had Cordy out for most of camp, We had to give a long look to our 2nd rounder at RT - "no go" there, Seantrel changing sides, Pears to an inside position, etc. I believe that we are as strong at the OT position as we have been in over a decade. We achieved the overall depth we needed as well. This is a unit that will get stronger as the season progresses, that's how good OL's come to be….hardly ever an overnight thing.
RB's - check.
WR's: our guys get open. Williams looks to be a great addition at a good price.
Schwartz : as advertised
TACKLES FOR LOSSES! - led the league in preseason…that cannot ever be a bad thing.
Mario, Marcel and Kyle: Cutler - you're first.
Spikes - as advertised.
Bradham - raised his game this year.
Duke Williams - same
Preston Brown - future looking bright here.
The flashes of our offense clicking, although few and not in the red zone, involved nice chunks of yardage. The slightest uptick from better OL chemistry and better QB play will yield much more production. Need our stars to get the ball and do what they do.
