This has been a crazy year, so clearly we are all just hoping for any type of normal season. I’m sure that’s everyone’s #1 concern right now regarding the team.
Outside of that, I’d like to get some conversations started about what we’re looking forward to and dreading. We don’t have preseason games to watch or analyze, so I figured this could be the next best thing.
3 things I’m most excited about:
1. Our rookies - 1 is hopefully a lock to start, Ruiz, and it’ll probably be at C. Baun and Trautman probably won’t be starters but have the potential to be huge rotational guys.
2. Our 2nd and 3rd year guys stepping up - I’m focusing mainly on McCoy, Duce, and Davenport here. A lot is going to be asked of these 3, so let’s hope all 3 can step up and shine.
3. Added speed and firepower on offense - I’m looking at this from a few different angles. Kamara will be healthier. Sanders compliments Thomas to a T. Harris is incorporated more.
3 things I’m most nervous about:
1. Those toes, ankles, and knees - Rankins, Davenport, Kamara. Those are 3 deadly weapons when they’re healthy. Without them, it may be very difficult to keep this squad on track.
2. Old face old place - We have seen it numerous times in the SP era. We bring back a vet after they left for a few years and expect them to be the same. I hope Jenkins is still good.
3. Unity - How will the new guys be able to adjust and fit in with the team? It’s going to be hard for both vets and rookies get completely comfortable without preseason games.
