[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 618387"] Of course. The high ranking "starter" issues are all on the defensive side of the ball with all of the offensive starters back. I'd add another defensive area of concern looking out to week 1. Consider the nickel/dime DT's who are on the field for 70% of the snaps. Daniels can't take every snap if he's going to play in base, which should be expected. Guion's out for 3 games, Jones for 1 game. You need at least 3 guys in that nickel/dime DT rotation. So, for opening day the front runners are Daniels, Neal and ?, with Neal still getting over the hernia surgery while also being a limited matchup/situational player at the position given his size limitations. At the same time, a healthy Neal may be getting a lot of work at base OLB with Matthews in the middle and Perry getting over his own issues. Raji in the DT rotation? Pepper (no rest for the wicked?) with Mulumba getting snaps at OLB if the Neal/Perry issues persist by opening day? None of the defensive issues are going to be answered in one preseason game. As we go along in the preseason, seeing Neal and Perry on the field and ready to go are issues high on the list. For this game, seeing how the unproven D-Line players comport themselves at nickel DT should be added to your list. Offense? Montogomery, the backup O-Linemen, and the backup TEs with Quarless heading to a suspension should be of interest. I'd like to see a more loose and fluid Tolzien as opposed to his more mechanical, by-the-book self; I'd like to see him get snaps against the Pats #1 defense. I suppose Hundley/Blanchard will be of interest by the 4th. quarter, but that has little impact on the 2015 season. [/QUOTE]
