Thoughts from Reiss and Gasper
Reiss:
Offensive Line: remains a question on the right side, though my opinion of Kaczur is probably higher than most on this board. The answer to a Giants-style pass rush will be Maroney, Morris, and Jordan. Hence the emphasis on the run.
Front Seven: Wilfork, Seymour, AD are operating on a higher plane. The pass rush will be much better. Seems Mayo will be starting earlier than we thought. Much improved speed in covering the middle.
Cornerbacks: I'm with Reiss on this -- quality depth is more important than a single star. Hobbs/Bryant/Wheatley with fast safeties and LBs makes for a coverage sack on 3rd down. Those long drives against the D will be ending earlier this year.
ILBs and Schemes: Interesting things with Bruschi/T.Williams, Mayo/Hobson. When will Mayo start and who will play beside him?
Quarterbacks: Cassel still throwing too many picks. Preseason games will be telling. Brady-Moss are on a different planet.
Standouts and Pleasant Surprises: Mayo! Bryant, Tank Williams, Meriweather, Woods, Wheatley, Aiken, Slater
Plagued by inconsistency: Watson's hands, Dave Thomas' feet
Need to know more: CJack, Hobson, Crable, the UDFA LBs, Wilhite
Reiss:
- Cornerbacks are a pleasant surprise, esp. Bryant
- OL is struggling, probably because Light is out and Kaczur missed early practices
- Defensive pass rush looks strong.
- Cornerbacks are a question, unanswered until games start
- Meriweather is a pleasant surprise
- Practices are physical,emphasis on running game
