"Priorities?":
Defense--- we are loaded at DLine. Good foundation to have. Each of the other levels has its questions. Linebacker--- can both Jarrett and Joe join Jaylon to make a 3-J superhero Jack-You-Up Hit Squad? If Jarrett's healthy and Joe can move, then yes. If some of that doesn't go, we have Nyles and Greer and James to find a spot. And when we go nickel, only two of the Js are needed with our ace nickel Matthias. You would think that with all that we'd strike gold. Corner: assuming KVR is KVR, he and Luke [my candidate last year for most underrated AA-type DPlayer we fielded] should be one of the best pairs in the country --- better perhaps than Cole and Cody last year even when Cody was healthy. They have to stay out of injury. Safety: Max seems to be getting there [Bless The Lord!], and I'm guessing that Sebastian will eliminate concerns that everyone has with Elijah. Bottomline: we are LOADED on defense given any reasonable breaks at all. I look at what BVG has to work with and smile.
Offense--- we are loaded at OLine. Stanley=NFL; NMart= tough strong savvy veteran; Elmer and McGlinchey= Kelly says they'll "knock you out"; the Nelson/Bars battle= luxurious talent abundance. Plus a forklift back-up center in Mustifer, and a talented back-up tackle in Bivin [plus McGovern whom Kelly often mentions.] TE: WAS a concern for me, but Smythe sounds like he's very good --- so what if we have one highclass "ordinary solid player" out there? WR: Lord protect the opposition! Adding Brent and a fully-functional Hunter to Fuller, Robinson, Brown, Prosise, Carlisle --- my goodness. It's like a basketball team who needs to play with several BBalls to let everyone show what they've got. RB: Tarean gives us better-than-most-anyone just on his own. I'm still waiting on Greg, but CJs ability to get it quickly solves any issue we have here. So, what's left {sarcasm noted}? What's left IS our only real issue, assuming the linebackers get straightened out. LORD GIVE US A BREAK AT QB PLEASE!! I don't need more "refining in the fires of life" on this particular issue. I'll take a little more adversity elsewhere instead.
Special teams: Please young Mr. Yoon, be able to kick field goals. Please Mr. Bryant and/or Mr. Prosise, be able to field punts without dropping them. We'll get all the rest of that figured out.
Priorities? Just Everett and Malik, with a dash of Grace and Yoon tossed in [maybe a little Sebastian]. With a reversal of luck from last season, this team could be a terror.
