what do people think of the new rule changes and the impact that will have on tavon?

i figure the new rule changes WILL help austin. with dbs not allowed to be as physical it should help a jitterbug type like tavon.

i also believe bailey is the guy to step. it’ll be austin and bailey. with quick or britt making a very effective third wr.

i also think that brockers dominates. it won’t just be donald. he’s the new guy, and understandably, people are excited. but brockers has come in the best shape of his life. he didn’t come in with the technical proficiency that donald does. but people forget. brockers is only 6 months older than donald. he came in as a young raw physical specimen. i fully expect him to have a breakout year. and then combined with donald, this dline should be frightening.

yup. cb. then free safety. then oline.

aaron donald. sounds too good to be true. can’t believe the first preseason game is less than a week away.

yeah. between coach o and franke, bailey sounds like one to watch as is ogletree.

robinson still very much a work in progress. although i think things would look very different in pads and full contact.

i’d like to see a lot of austin and bailey this season. that’d be entertaining i think.

even with all the talk about quick, i think the offense is gonna have to rely on the 3 guys entering their sophomore season – stacy, austin, and bailey.

how much they can improve will go a long way in determining how good this offense can become. unfortunately, one of them will be gone for the first four games.

what makes you think that? i don’t know either way. but what would draw you to that conclusion?

i think that the safeties will be fine. i think one of mcdonald/alexander emerge as a serious strong safety prospect. and i think they will find a free safety prospect from the group they have or maybe in the later rounds of next year’s draft. but yeah. corner is looking right now as a target for the rams front office to really attack.

of course this could all change by the end of the season but jenkins and johnson do not sound like they are impressing anyone. either that or the wr group is a lot better than we expected. i mean i think it is, but not THIS good. i like joyner. but that’s about it. i hope things turn around.

also. contrast that with the wr group. where it seems to be nothing but positive vibes despite a young group of guys.

man. quick dominating and taking all the reps with the first team??? wow. this is beginning to sound like a lot more than just hype. i had completely given up on the guy…

yeah it would be huge. and if one or two other receivers can step up besides quick, this offense suddenly becomes real dangerous given the potential of the running game.

most won’t agree. but i think this offense is going to be really fun to watch this season. very physical. with some big plays in between. there’s just a really good mix of talent on offense. of course i say that every year.

camp reports have not sounded good on this guy. i’m surprised. i was convinced he’d be able to make it. early times though.

thanks for the report. that was great. reading good things about the receivers and defensive backs. quick in particular. although i’d like to see them do it against other teams.

don’t like what i read about jones. i’m also wondering how long it takes robinson exactly to get acclimated to the nfl. sounds like he is having some struggles there early.

shoot. could britt be having a positive influence on this young wr corps????

i especially like the comments on ogletree and mcdonald. williams, as we all know, is a perfectionist. he’s hard on his players. so for him to have positive thoughts on those two. that says a lot. especially given their versatility and williams’ love of the hybrid players. my guess is those two are gonna be flying around making plays. the defensive line can only get better. only thing left is finding a free safety among that group. then this defense could be complete.

top 5? wow. that would be beautiful to see. especially combined with a top 5 rushing offense?

well. police supposedly have footage of rice knocking her unconscious. that wasn’t released to the public.

i was also angry at how harbaugh responded to this whole thing.

“It’s not a big deal, it’s just part of the process,” Harbaugh said, via ESPN. “There are consequences when you make a mistake like that. I stand behind Ray. He’s a heck of a guy. He’s done everything right since. He makes a mistake, alright? He’s going to have to pay a consequence. I think that’s good for kids to understand it works that way. That’s how it works, that’s how it should be.”

maybe it should be a big deal. maybe i don’t know all the facts.

just not acceptable to me that it was a 2 game suspension. i realize people make mistakes. but in this case. i gotta agree with wv. guys are getting hammered for smoking pot and then this guy gets away with a 2 game suspension?
