[QUOTE="33jacket, post: 224375, member: 628"] boomer, I respectfully disagree. On the perimeters as you may agree WR is to me clear issue. DB's we have physical guys but we lack coverage speed and very stiff hips/turns; we will see this come to fruition in the regular season IMO. Roof will be playing either way off or way conservative in the back to make up for it, conceding the under, moreso than he has done in the past. We have nickel and cover two bodies; if we roll the safeties deep alot like this we will be exposed on the line. Roof likes man alot. His scheme better adapt; our CB unit worries me. I don't see any playmakers there until you get to AJ Gray, but he may be relegated to rolling deep halfs to help the CBs out taking him out of a ton of box plays where he is good. I see a backend issue. DL is just ok. No one stands out still. Again, could be solid but hard pressed to call anyone a playmaker there; the front 4 will still have rush issues without manufacturing pressure IMO; ergo no playmakers; no one the opposing team will scheme towards. It dawned on me, I should step back and state what a playmaker is to me. Its someone who can change a game at any snap due to there ability.
