When a coach gets fired, I didn't think they could keep using someone else's playbook that's no longer with the team. Or does the head coach own the playbooks for both offense and defense, and the coordinators just go from there? Now I'm confused. Lazor just tweaked the existing playbook. He wrote his own over the offseason Playbook was developed by a coach while employed by the team. Therefore it is team property Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius Phillips at the bottom of the CB depth chart, and Josh Shaw moved to S. Lastly is Erickson listed as the KR and PR starter, lists Phillips as the 2nd KR, but Boyd as the 2nd PR Westerman being out sick (and losing weight I heard due to it) is probably why Hopkins is the starting RG. From what I've seen thus far, I'm not thrilled with the Hopkins-Hart combo. I'm hoping Westerman can take over the starting RG position before Week 1. I'm actually Ok with Hart at RT tho...

If you listened to yesterday's BBP, sounds like the line is going to continue to be a problem this year. In time maybe some of the pieces are there for a solid line, but right now it sounds like a hot mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the run blocking will be vastly improved but the pass blocking is going to look largely the same as last season. My expectations for this season are going down. Cordy Glenn is a prime example of that. Beast in run blocking but struggling in pass protection. Let's hope it looks a little better when then regular season starts...

No one is stepping up and taking the job outside of Glenn, but I saw plenty of videos of him being beat this camp. Also Price has been bad. Beyond just the snaps, getting beaten. They have 4 weeks to figure this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't bemoan the picks you never had a chance to make. I'm sure they would have liked to have taken Chubb too, but he wasn't an option...
