1) This team just amazes me each time I look at the depth chart and the WR position, imo, is the best we've ever had. Cooks is going to impress a lot of people that aren't that familiar with him. Hawkins is incredible depth behind a perfect blend for Brady. Moss is my all time fav player but this WR Corp is so legit it's not fair. Add in Gronk, who physically looks like himself and you have an uncoverable offense along with the RB's which I'll talk about later.
2)Jones is a real binky. Love this guy like Flowers! He's so competitive and despite his 3Cone, I've always thought he was smooth and sticky enough in coverage. Putting him in the slot, imo, plays to his strengths big time. His speed is legit, so he can stay with guys like Cooks who might line in there and has great speed. I live his feet, which prob make up for a lil stiffness. So quick and bouncy. Add in his fight and athleticism and you have a lot to work with.
I absolutely love out secondary. So spoiled. This ****in team. I love the Butler/Gilmore combo. I have 0 worries and think they'll play off each other wonderful. Jonathan Jones would be the perfect piece to add in the slot with those 2.
3) Pats leading the way again. In have to say I love our UDFA'S the past few years.
4) I love our RB'S but really want to see Lewis on this team. I've been on board with limited snaps for a while and wanted him held out last year until week 8-10 to get ready for the playoffs. I don't think Gronk needs a drastic cut but think he needs to be watched as well.
Anyway back to the backs. Like the WR Corp its a perfect blend for this team. M.G. ,Burk, White, Lewis is the best group we've seen in a while. I think both WR/RB have been upgraded big time.
5) I want those flip flops now. And ****in A WE WANT 6. Back 2 Back for 6 would make 31 teams and fans puke at once. Again.
6) I really love our Defense and like the Offense, it won't hit us how good they really are until we see them in action. The versatility is insane! The ENTIRE defense is bonkers.
I'm slurping here bc it's not common place to have this many binkys on one team. Flowers and Rivers are gunna cause so many headaches.
Ealy and Flowers are really important pieces but if Rivers can do his thing on the edge we're talking next level for this defense. Yea hes a rook and snaps will be limited but his impact, his game, even small samples will have the biggest to this veteran team.
7) I though last year the oline would be top 10-12ish. I don't want to get into exact rankings but I think its safe to say they were a strength. I think they get stronger this year and we see lil improvements individually but I think our running game will be slightly better overall.
