Here are the holes I see where we do not have somewhat consistent and reliable NFL starting caliber players.
Disclaimer: I know it's preseason so a few regular season games can confirm or discredit this list.
Offense
LT (gets a pass because we have a rookie playing there)
LG
RG
FB
QB (kind of a big deal)
TE2
Defense
DT (Jones' position)
DE (Ngakoue is close)
SLB (Jack flashes but is not established and reliable yet)
Special Teams
K
*Notable: Just missing the list (i.e. established starters but may not be solidly/consistently reliable)
RT
WR
WLB T Smith is out of position too often and misses plays (but makes a lot of plays)
FS I'm not sure I've seen Gipson make a play yet
Is this an indictment on Caldwell? I have withheld judgment against him so far but the last few games really make me question him as the GM. And if we fire him then who will be his replacement and build a winning roster?
