I was completely wrong about Tino. I thought he was going to be fine running the zone-read hurry up style offense. In 2010 I thought he did his best work as a QB when he was in Shotgun. It'll be interesting how he does this offseason and next year.
As expected there was very little depth at RB. Bennett could be a very good one in the future but he def isn't a Graham. Now that Shell is coming in, I think Bennett will be a fine #3 back behind Graham and Shell.
Street is going to be a good one at the WR position and the same with Carswell. I think we're going to have weapons on the outside. Shanahan just didn't seem to step up like I thought he would. He had some drops in critical situations that I just didn't see coming. Cam had a good year until his injury.
What can I say about Hubie Graham? This kid stepped up the way I thought Shanahan was going to. Graham was very, very good in short yardage situations. Can't wait to see him progress here on out.
As big of a year Hubie Graham had at the H-Back position, Aaron McDonald had at DT. What a machine he was during the regular season. Not sure how his skill set will continue to grow in a 4-3 system.
Todd Thomas had a decent year at LB, I think he'll be even better next year.
Its going to be tough losing Tags as a S and a Special Teams player. The kid was simply a player that played his heart out. Our CB's was a pleasant surprise on both sides of the ball. Can't wait to see continued growth as we move forward this offseason.
Can't wait to see what Chryst and his coaching staff does with these players. I'd like to see continued growth on the OL and DL. I think we have some pieces in place for a fun season. I'd like to see more out of our Clairton kids lol.
