Not usually the glass is half full as those around me for years know. So these thoughts might surprise some.
I don't think we have seen our real D and O. Basis for this is off comments made both MM and Petine in off season and personel moves by Gutey.
Petine thru different things read about him and his own comments seems to be the type that allows players to play to their strength and not make them be round pegs in a square hole. Saw some this with how Jackson played this week. Defense has seem vanilla imo thus far. Also think players like Dix are holding back a bit til season starts....again glass half full is the hope here. If wrong could be another long season for the D.
On Offense much like d dont think have seen true O. And speaking of Special K made team and can see him being #2 Wr quickly opening the possible and may shock ppl, possibly trade of Cobb. Fact they haven't worked much on run game doesn't surprise me seeing how pass pro is harder for most OL then run.
Speaking of pass game no doubt will be heavy on use of TEs. So staying with lot above, could see our 4 wides being Adams, SpecialK, Lewis and Graham. In this lot Allison would be the #3 WR.
As for our rookie WRs, think too much expected right away by fans. I remember back when teams had the true WCO no rook had great rook seasons and it was the lot that it took til season 2 to for them to start making an impact. This included the great Jerry Rice back in the day. They obviously can't keep them all or stash all on PS, but also too early to say they all suck also.
Now to Gutey. Could be wrong but don't feel he's done making moves yet. He might just pull a big move off to help the D pass rush...a lot of traction out there on possible trade with Oakland. He needs an impact player either for Safety or for pass rush or both, but can't see both unless lucky after cuts. OL has to be a concern as well especially at OT where back ups are scary and questions on health at both starters. But good OTs are hard to come by and dont come cheep so unless a stop gap we might have to pray a lot that both stay healthy.
Back to Cobb possible trade. He might be the one tradeable commodity to use to get an impact defensive player. Wild thought IK...but still throwing it out there.
Ok feel free to fire away
