Other than finding a QB what are the coach's 3 biggest position issues for 2021?

[Mose Phillip's Watch]

1. End rushers
2. Solid two RBs
3. Linebackers

Thoughts besides every position lol

 

[butchna]

We’re loaded at RB.

 

[vol_in_ga]

End rushers (DEs and OLBs), Cornerbacks, OLine.

We need help in multiple areas.

 

[vol66]

LB’s
CB’s
DE

We’re loaded at RB.

Bunch of potential, no clear starters. Low on experience

 

[VolnJC]

OL
OL
DL

Edge rushers
Then probably a close second is pass rushers.
Lastly need some guys who can put pressure on the QB.

 

[VAVol85]

ILB
OLB
OLine

Maybe a better post on my part would have been...

1. Speed...at WR, DB and LB/DE

 

[rdk4121]

Edge and ILB. Baron hopefully takes a step forward, maybe Joseph or Harrison get better, but just not a lot of talent at the Edge. We got Banks back, but that's the only meaningful contributor from last year. Whitehead hopefully goes to LB.

I think we're solid at RB. We'll be okay at WR with Hyatt and Velus, maybe some younger guys like Wideman or Tillman take a step forward (also Holiday, Calloway, and Keyton if he's still here).

There's still talent on the O Line and D Line just need some better coaching. Same thing for the secondary, plus some better health would be nice there.

I feel pretty damn good about over overall talent on offense actually, which gives me cautious optimism for the 2021 season. Defense is a big concern, however. We have suffered because of a nonexistent pass rush for years...

 

[VolPack22]

We could see if Eric Berry and Derek Barnett would like to finish out the extra year they left on the table.

Vol66,speed at wr?Are you completely out of it?Hiatt-3.1-3.2 40,Calloway,3.7-3.8,others.sub 4.0.That is speed.Need one of more of our qb's to get the ball there where they don't have to stop to catch it.Orange Lightning!

Tiyon Evans will start...experienced as Gray. Small, Beckwith and Wright more explosive AND sturdier runners than Gray or Chandler.

I think quality depth is a concern across all positions.

Offensively, we have pieces but are they the right pieces for the offense going forward?

I believe we have QB on the roster maybe 2-3 that can be successful in his offense.

I think we are missing a Eric Gray type back, we have a lot of bigger bodies.

I am not sure we have a great receiving TE.

We have some good pieces on the WR, QB and OL but how does the depth look?

Defensively, we just need more bodies and depth across the board.

Aaron Willis will be a mainstay by the fourth game if not sooner. Mean and athletic tackle hound with instincts and football smarts.

Wright is a faster Eric Gray...just better at running through tackles.

When I see separation on a regular basis I will buy in.

We never had the players to run Pruitts defense, and he didn't adjust. Let's see who we get as a DC. I think we have the pieces necessary to run Heupel's offense. Whoever the DC is, he'll have to be creative in the pass rush. Presently, I worry about every single position on defense.

 

[cwbytruckers]

I feel we have plenty of talent. They just need coached up and the offense give them a reason for fighting. Our defense played well at times last season. But the offense just couldn't do anything to help them.

Not sure what you are basing all that on as we return about 150 yards rushing from last year

 

[Vol865]

1. DE
2. LB
3. OL

Bonus: DB

 

[Vol8188]

1. End rushers

DB may be worse than any of those

Gray? Who’s that? We have no one by that name
