Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 621891">WR has to be a concern until we see if Jones has lost any of his chops.In consideration of preseason performance, I'm concerned about the cover corner position opposite Shields and the nickel-dime coverage ILB.A Hayward/Gunter combo will likely be serviceable; Randall and Rollins are not ready but might see the field in the early games to test these expensive investments.The more I see of Ryan, the more I believe he should be the coverage ILB.  Given his number of preseason snaps and when they've occurred, I expect he'll sit behind Barrington and Palmer at least to start out.Pennel and Gaston have been pleasant surprises...I'm much less concerned about the D-Line's loss of Guion/Jones than at the start of preseason.  Pennel for Guion in base and Gaston in the nickel/dime DT spot in place of Jones should prove serviceable or better.I'd be more concerned about the O-Line if the injuries were more serious.  Sitton says he'd have been playing if it were regular season, so he'll be on the field week 1.  Sitton, Bakhtiari and Bulaga were all practicing last week.  Lang is the question mark...I've not seen where he's yet to be released from the concussion protocol and he went through that process once before in 2013, so extra caution may be taken.  While Lang's a very good player, this veteran line should be able to cover for one missing piece without too much of a loss.</blockquote>
