Spot on.

I'll say that I believe Abdullah is starter martial. Now I'm not going to say who he would or wouldn't start for in the league, but he has starter skills and he's a vet.

The corners are the only part of the secondary I'm concerned with. But I mean, how often do 2nd year guys not improve off a decent rookie campaign?

It's natural to expect a better level of play from Cooper. We didn't see enough from Parker last year, but he fits the height/weight/speed system that we're adopting.

Nothing at all? So we have to wait until week 1 then?

Obviously we're not going to learn boom or bust with Parker in one quarter of pre season action, but there's things that can be analyzed today from a physical/technique standpoint. At least for those of us who haven't seen him up close and with detail

I'm taking Mark Harrison as my wild card to make it.

Joe McKnight is going to have a career year. BANK ON IT!

The game plans are completely vanilla. At this point it's mostly about physical skills and most of these guys are athletic enough to keep from getting completely exposed in a preseason game.

In other words, the only possible thing you can learn right now is whether or not he's BAD. We won't know if he's actually GOOD until we start facing a real offensive game plan.

Jenkins, by virtue of his guaranteed contract, seems fairly likely to make the 53.

Huge leap

Plenty of terrible position groups on that 53.

The starters are fine. Depth wise, not really.

If Abdullah is primarily the deep safety, we're not "fine". He's an upgrade over Lewis for sure but he lacks high-end range. With our corners, we really need FLAWLESS deep safety play. Hopefully they're not opposed to putting Berry back there more...

1.Espn had a different take and said that neither Bray nor Murray had done anything to show themselves on the level of Daniel.

2. You didn't write his name correctly. It's Tyler "Enola" Bray

I thought it was Tyler Shay.

With a couple of dashes of Emeril's seasoning, It becomes a BAMBURGER.

No.....Tyler "Enola" Bray because he'll be dropping bombs all over the 3rd quarter.


I don't really believe it, but the joke works.

again, huge leap.

IF ............. adbullah turns out to be a 'fine' NFL starter i will be surprised.


He could, but i won't believe it until i see it.


I think it's more likely that Berry turns into a good free safety and somebody else steps in at SS (Sorenson?) and that's a long shot.
