Time to go!

I think our O-line should be good again next year.

I'm surprised that Jay Davis was moved to Safety with Nick Adams and Patrick Hearn leaving. The secondary must have needed him even more. I'm guessing we're expecting immediate contributions from the incoming WRs? I know McGee was high on several of them.

Yes. We might have some of the overall fastest WRS in the country with our additions. I love all the moves, especially Davis and the "Pick"

We're also getting to guys that were starting to get good reps before they were inured in Vinson and Smith.

I think Smith in particular could be a match up nightmare for defenses. Line him up in the slot and there's not a linebacker in the conference who can cover him.

Nolen is our Jason Witten.

Way too tall.

I'm interested to see what position Jamari Staples begins at in the fall.

Yea I am excited also. FYI Steve is over 250 now

Was this something he was expecting coming off last season?

yes

We've only been calling for it since he signed. Seemed like a no brainer. Pick seems like a natural replacement for the kid who played DE season before las but got hurt. What was his name? Tyler Peppers. Played a lot his true freshman year but had a neck injury that caused him to leave football.

Better write some of these changes in pencil, because some may be changed again in the fall when we see what the new guys who show up in August have to offer in the "skill "positions. We seem to have a much deeper team than we have become used to in the past years.
