Our offensive line has more questions than than ever before in the last couple of years. Other than Jake Long and Pouncey, there is no one
out there that is expected to give a solid effort in any given sunday. Fasano is another player who shows up for one game and is never to be
found after that performance once every season. After his great performance a few weeks ago I am not really going to expect to see him again.
Then as sad as I feel about this, Marshall has been dropping passes that should never be dropped in the first place. The rest of our receivers are more
dependent on the equal distribution of offense across key positions such as the success of our quarterback and receiver. Our running back position is
another position that has some pretty solid question marks. Daniel Thomas when he plays he has shown to run through the tackles just fine. One thing
that I am worried is about his ability to stay healthy. Not a great situation for a rookie qb to step in for sure.
Then we have our defensive issues. We can't apply pressure up front, and our linebackers as a group play very inconsistent. We seem to have trouble covering some of the underneath routes and it has become a very nice target for quarterbacks. Other than wake and Karlos, I am not too optimistic about the 2 other positions. This is a defense where you need to have 4 linebackers than can play the run and play the pass efficiently. Then our defensive backs are probably the worst starting 4 of all the teams out there.
*4 out 6 positions on the offensive line have big question marks
*Questionable running game
*3 out of 4 positions on our defensive backfield are not looking very well
*2 out of 4 linebacker positions are questionable
*Average play in our defensive line
It would be tough to stomach coming into the league and joining this mess. This team needs a major overhaul from a coaching and management standpoint. This is why a guy like Tony and Ireland should not be taking a hold of this franchise anymore. They had a while to fix the issue already. Coming to this situation is torture for any rookie qb. This isn't Big Ben joining an already good steelers squad, or Joe Flacco joining a pretty solid team. Or Matt Ryan joining a talented offense. This is Luck joining an offense with more questions than a murder scene.
