i like what they did in the secondary. i think joyner to free safety and alexander sliding over to strong was obvious but brilliant. i think adding robey coleman and drafting johnson both good moves.
i really like barwin i like the whole linebacking corps really. but quinn’s gotta make a bruce like resurrection. a healthy robert is essential.
that’s one of my 2 big concerns about the defense.
my other big concern is who plays defensive end for the line? nose and 3 tech i think are covered. but defensive end?
figure out those 2 issues and yeah i think top 5 is possible.
I guess that I am the only one who thinks Tavon’s contract isn’t excessive. Of course he has to perform, that is true of any player, but I think he will. For me that is 8-10 TDs in any form. I see Barron’s contract as more out of line that Tavon’s, but they both are livable. I find it a bit strange that we can pay Barron 9m/yr, Tavon 10.5m/yr, Brockers 11m/yr, Johnson 16.7m for this year, but we couldn’t pay Jenkins 12.5m/yr when Jenkins is the only player to go to the pro bowl.
for me it’s not a matter of the contract. it’s a matter of fit. tavon will not fit this offense. this offense will require him to be a wide receiver which he is not. he’s something else.
and no. i don’t believe mcvay will try to accomodate him.
ya know. for whatever it’s worth. andrew whitworth ranked just behind joe thomas (who brandt ranked seventh all time on his list) last year on pff’s top 50.
whitworth ranked 36th. thomas ranked 27th. tyron smith and trent williams were the top rated tackles.
whitworth entered the league in 2006. thomas entered in 2007. whitworth is also 3 years older than thomas. whitworth was the highest ranked left tackle last year.
i don’t know how many years he has left, but that’s impressive.
