I'll be really curious to see the in-actives list... 

 

Does Gilliam suit up? 

 

How many DE's do we see? Would they really have Epenesa inactive? 

I'd be surprised if he was active.  I mean, how many ends are going to be active?  And Johnson is a core STer.

I'm a little concerned with Vernon Butler starting over Phillips, but I suspect there will be a stout rotation there, anyway. I'm also concerned with AJ Klein, and our depth at that position. Klein may be our best option at Will, and that is a concern.

 

The first thing I'm going to look for when the offense takes the field Sunday is the right side of the line. Personally, I feel like we're going to see Ford at RT, and Williams at RG. But, I've felt that would be the case since they signed him, and I went back and watched Williams play at RG, and RT. And I've been flamed for that opinion. Maybe I'm just being stubborn.

Perhaps he has added sufficient weight to do so—ever think of that? Huh? Did ya?

 

🤣


Bandit, nice Clint Eastwood reference.  “You know in all the commotion on the roster, I didn’t know if I picked 4 or 5 spots, so Iask ya, ya Feelin lucky punk, well do ya?”   Put Ford at Guard and make my day.  👌😏

From what I've seen of Butler he had a really solid year last season. He was a beast at times so I'm not sure why your worried about him over Phillips.

 

DT is the least of the teams concerns. DE is bigger concern. They are an old group between Hughes and Addison and Murphy is meh and Epenesas ceiling in the league is slightly better version of Shaq.... could become a problematic group. 

I'm not sure Shaq's reached his ceiling. His career certainly had an uphill battle in Buffalo, and I have a feeling he is going to excel in Miami. Be that as it may, I don't think he is an apt comparison to Epenesa at all. We shouldn't expect to see much out of Epenesa in the first half of the season, but I think he could develop into a solid pass rusher. His upper-body technique has been described as advanced, by college standards. His talent is in throwing opposing linemen off balance. I think we saw a brief glimpse of that in training camp when Bryan Winters found himself laying on the ground.

 

I may not have watched enough of Butler to warrant my concerns, but what I did observe was inconsistent, IMO. I'll be happy to be wrong about that.

I guess this puts Josh Norman ahead of Levi Wallace.

I wonder how often he will be rotated with Wallace? I would expect them swap frequently. Could Norman's starting status just be in deference to his vet stature?

Haven’t seen much of Butler either, but I’m convinced we saw the best Shaq will ever be and I don’t miss him. 

But that’s just me.
