Right now I keep looking at this roster and keep saying we all thought it was deep at the beginning of the year, but right now it is proving otherwise.
1. CB and not just another Craig James type, we need a legit NFL CB at both spots. I don't believe that Darby or Mills is that. Ironically I think we have three pretty good slot corners in Maddox, LeBlanc and Scandrick. None of them can play outside and LeBlanc won't be available for 2 more weeks at a minimum. We really need two outside corners. We may be able to get one here in the next couple of weeks but two is going to be damn near impossible.
2. WR - Boy how this has changed since the preseason. Everyone was excited about our Top 3 is a top 10 unit in football and even our 4th and 5th guys are good. Well we have one legit NFL receiver right now, that is Jeffrey. Agholor is way too inconsistent. Hollins has one catch in three games and dropped another TD yesterday (yes it would have been a nice catch but 6ft 4 receivers have to make that catch period). We should be able to pick up a competent WR at the trade deadline for not a tone of trade capital
3. LB - Looking at the way Minnesota LB play they really make up for any deficiencies both on the line and in the secondary. They take away the outlet pass and they stop the run. We really haven't had a great linebacker in this town since Trotter. We need to get a stud in there. That won't happen at the trade deadline.
This season is reminding me some of the Phillies season. Lots of injuries in one spot so the depth is challenged. Other areas where you thought you were good who-fully under performing.
