What position group are you watching closely?

[boiledmeconium]

I'm looking forward to watching the OL develop this off-season. When we saw Gus line up at Tackle for some snaps, you knew it was bad last year. This year, we've got Gus back 100% at C, and got a bunch of new, bigger bodies. I hope they find their best 8 early and form a cohesive unit. It will help both running game and passing game immensely.

WR. Not big holes, but holes to fill.

wondering who will be running back to give Mockobee some rest or if he gets hurt

Kid from Illinois who was their leading rusher last year is the slotted backup. Should get a heavy load too.

More interested in who’s 3rd.

Reggie Love is backup

#1 is OLB for me. We're actually replacing Scourton and Jenkins as Jenkins is moving to inside backer.

NOTE: it was interesting that Walters mentioned the Jenkins move as at least a partial reason as to why we were able to "retain" him.

I think Katlaftis will slot into Jenkins OLB spot (backed up by Heldt) and Middleton and Sillah will be on the other side.

Interesting. Karlaftis seems a little light to play OLB in Walters scheme. Maybe he's bulked up?

That would be really surprising. Yanni will be behind Jenkins. Heldt is a guy that could be a breakout candidate and I think starts, with Madden the other starter. Sillah and the kid from Franklin backing up.

Wouldn't Yanni be opposite Jenkins in the middle, or maybe I'm missing someone.

last year the defense scheme was 5 (3 DL + 2 OLB) - 1 (ILB) - 4 (DB) - 1 (Dillon). So 1 ILB. Jenkins and Yanni would need to rotate If Yanni stays at ILB.

We've always got that 5th DB out there, Yanni would come in when we take that guy off.

with Madden the other starter.

Cool! That dude should know the playbook inside and out.
