First, Shanle shocked me and many other people. The guy has been solid, so i tip my hat off to him. In the offseason i saw him as the weaklink as many others did, but it appears payton and Williams have proved us wrong. This is why i thank god we are not coaching the team.
The running game went from non existant to a possible 3 headed monster. Bell is our workhorse, PT is still talented, and bush is our screen, toss and pr.
I see two weaklinks on our defense though.
1) Fujita. I dont know what it is, but he has not been impressive at all. He isn't attacking, and appears slow on some plays. The sam position needs to be uprgaded. Whether by trade or next year's draft we need to do something.
2) the pass rush from the de position. Grant and Smith are pretty much waisting spots. Both need to be upgraded as it appears star caps was the only thing keeping them in shape. They provide 0 push. Look at New York's DE's Tuck and Osi. They collapse the pocket and make plays. Same for Jarred Allen, etc. Our DE's are making HUGE amounts of money for LITTLE production
PLAYERS IN THE 2010 draft to keep an eye on in the early rounds
LB Rennie Curry Georgia
LB Brandon Spikes (can be moved outside)
LB Travis Lewis Oklahoma
LB Sean Witherspoon Missouri
LB Rico McCoy Tennessee
DE Greg Hardy Ole Miss
DE Brandon Graham Michigan
DE Everson Griffen USC
DE C.J Wilson East Carolina
LB and DE should be high draft picks for us.
