Based on your roster, D, I got to 52 players. Can't figure out the last player to make 53. Maybe Harris but doubtful they keep 4 TEs? Maybe a 5th CB but which one?

I keep coming back and looking at this pre-TC roster, and the only serious concern I have is D-Line, specifically DE.

Lot of IFs, but IF Poe and/or Powe can fill the NT spot and IF Jackson and DeVito can hold the run, that will help this D tremendously. But, where is the push from this DLine in the new scheme? Will the scheme alone help the DLinemen push the pocket, or are these guys the same guys who will always be guys that don't push, rather GET pushed?

Our 2nd CB and S starters are still making me a bit anxious, and clearly we will be relying on RBs & TEs as our secondary playmakers in the passing game after Bowe, unless Baldwin shows up to work on Sundays in the Fall vs weekdays in the Summer.

Have other minor concerns with depth mostly, but it's damn shade better than LY.

The scheme alone allows the DL to pursue the QB, plus more blitzing other than just Hali and/or Houston will help a lot too.

you are going to be really upset when the DL still doesnt get a "push" from this new scheme.

Mike DeVito was in the scheme his WHOLE career in NY and he still was one of the worst pass rushers in the NFL. The only guy with any pass rush hope is Poe, DeVito and Jackson are lost causes.

How crazy i didn't even mention QB as a position of concern.

Think it's a combination of how much better it looks vs. LY, and also the tempered expectations of what we're gonna get w/ Alex. I think he'll do fine, but not enough to get an extension, and simply bridges the gap to pulling this franchise out of the landfill. Which, again, is an improvement. If he surprises, great! If he doesn't, the rest of the team is in a better position next year for Tyler Bray vs. newly drafted rookie (probably not a 1st rounder, just my hunch) to fight him for starter's gig in 2014.

Jackson is capable.

He's shown flashes in a few games, playing in a system that doesn't ask him to rush the passer.

DL is my concern as well, but I think they will be capable enough. It's more that it will take some games before they really understand their assignments and will have to adjust to a completely different style of play. While they learn, we are going to be susceptible to the running game.

As for WR, don't forget about Donnie Avery. He averaged four catches for 60 yards a game for the Colts last year. That's nothing to sneeze at, especially if he can stretch the field and make room for our TE's and RB's underneath. And, there is the whole Matt Cassel factor; made everyone look worse than they likely were.

The Kansas City Chiefs have claimed a new DE named Austen Lane off waivers from the Jacksonville Jaguars. To make room, the club has released DT Daniel Muir

He fell backasswards into at least 2 of his 3 sacks last year.

Also, Baldwin has been promoted on this depth chart to #2 WR.
