1. What surprises you most?

Nothing really surprises me.

A. But, I guess I assumed Pittman would be #1 at X over Pascal, but it's not a shocker this early at all.

B. Not surprised at Dulin making the team, but a little surprised he made the team AND is not one of the two returners.

C. Rodgers making it as a returner is surprising a bit. It's rare for a rook. Happy though with his speed.

 

2. What confuses you the most?

A. The way the line out the depth chart at WR confuses the most. Obviously TY is a Z/slot type WR, while Pittman is a true X. Obviously they didn't line things out in terms of X, Z, Slot. I guess I wish they would lol. Not a biggie though.

B. Also, the shake up at depth positions for LB. Speed moving to SAM. And I just don't see Glasgow as a WILL type of LB. Franklin and Adams moves don't confuse me really at all, but the other two are a bit of a head scratcher.

 

 

3. What are you happiest about?

I called Autry at DE for a while now, but happy it's a done deal. He played his best in Oakland at DE, and his first year in Indy when he moved around. I think it's his most natural position even though he's a tweener.

 

4. What are you most unhappy about?

Not really unhappy, but strange a little guy like Rodgers is listed at NB. I still think Carrie would be the starting NB if Moore went down. I was really hoping Rodgers would end up being a speedy dynamic outside CB. I guess it's early and can still happen.

 

5. What do you predict will be the first change to occur in the coming weeks?

A. I expect Pittman to move to starter at some point over Pascal

B. I can see Wilson challenging Willis for starting SS at some point.

East, you gonna share your answers?

edit. Never mind. Thank you.  Took me awhile to digest your tome  
 

I am confused about Pittman considering he was our first pick.  I’m a little worried that the pandemic slowed his development. We may need to temper expectations on him as a rookie WR. 
 

I need to sleep on the other questions.

I wouldn't get to caught up on Dulin/Patmon. Patmon is kinda in a log jam at X. Pascal as the vet, Pittman as the 2nd rounder. Dulin is likely a #2 at a position that's thinner. If Pascal is out, it's likely Pittman going in instead of Dulin. 

 

Pinter is a swing guy. Like above, wouldn't put too much stock in it.

 

I think you're #4 might turn to #3 after a few games lol.

 

Muhammad is more like Sheard (good against the run), so you'll probably see a lot of him on running downs.

could be wrong, but I think Clark would be the first T in on either side.
