Yeah I don’t know. I think the position group will be improved as a whole over last year. Hard to complain about, yet here we are.

I'm way more worried that DE depth may come back to bite us.

That's actually a legit problem to talk about.

I'm even more worried that we'll get banged up at LB & Robertson is our only backup...he's also undersized for a strong side LB if he has to replace Klein. If we have 2 injuries at LB...we are probably screwed.

Backup OT as well. I'm not convinced that we have a legit swing tackle on our roster...at least I'm not yet. Peat being able to play OT does help out though, b/c our interior OL depth is actually pretty decent.

Those are my top 3 worries going into Game #1. I'm not concerned at all about QB, FB, TE, Starting OL, Backup OC/OG, ST, DT (after week 1), CB, & Safety.

RB & WR are about the same imo. I think we have legit depth already on the team, but the players just haven't proven it yet this preseason. That shouldn't be the case in a month though.

The fact that the Saints turned around and signed Murray at the first sign of uncertainty was an overreaction I feel like. Sure he's a good back, But you don't replace 7 years knowledge of the offense and every in and out that easily. I think there should have been more patience with the process.

I just can't shake the feeling that both parties are pretty aggravated with how that all shook out. If Kamara goes down at any point im just not comfortable with what's behind him right now.

Yep, and Murray has been nose deep in learning the offense since the day he signed. By all accounts, Ozigbo has shined in all facets of the position. Rodgers offers a bit of everything. This position is the least of the worries

Not to mention we went 3-1 and averaged 34 per game in the 4 weeks Ingram missed last season.

I mean, I think Murray is going to do fine, but let's not pretend the staff is infallible when it comes to taking shots on offensive players....

I'm sure the Saints & Ingram are both annoyed by what happened. It's Ingram's fault though...he's the one that hired a complete amateur to negotiate his contract against our professional FO. Other teams were looking to sign Murray, & we were probably tired of dealing with amateur hour.

It's the same as last year if Kamara goes down. He didn't play a couple of times last year, & our running game looked like shite without Kamara. Ingram wasn't the same without Kamara.

Our #2 last year was a little better, but our #3/#4 RB's will be much better this year imo. I believe in Rodgers, Washington is a year older, & Ozigbo has been looking good in camp so far.
