Ram_Rally with this question:
What was our qb's qbr? I don't think it was higher than foles
- Mark Barron...Ram defense needs to send a message and the Red Barron needs to ensure that when you go across the middle receivers enter at their own risk. IMO McDonald & Barron will be the starting safeties come September Morn and many will morn if they test the dynamic duo.
Refresh my mind please Mac, is he a SS or a FS type?Mackeyser liking Christian:
I can't really say step up because last season was a red shirt year, but Christian Bryant is a guy I think will surprise.
Whichever three guys end up starting on the line besides Saffold & GRob.
No one else even comes close, imo.

Mackeyser breaking my heart:
The way we play, he'd be more of a McLeod type FS. Not a center fielder, but a rangy hitter.
[av]http://www.mediacollege.com/downloads/sound-effects/star-trek/tos/music/Suspense_04.mp3[/av]Let's be honest, there needs to be more than just three players stepping up if this season is going to be successful. I could come up with 8 quite easily and if any of them fail, it'll hurt the team pretty badly.
Foles
Austin
GRob
Whoever is playing C
Havenstein
Ogletree
Jenkins
One of the other WRs (Quick, Britt, Bailey)
Last year was a bad year for this offense, but was also quietly a bad year for the defense. So both sides need to step up...
offense:
PTS: 20.2 (21st)
YDS: 314.7 (28th)
defense:
PTS: 22.1 (17th)
YDS: 351.6 (17th)
This team has not been top 16 in offense (better half of the league) in 10 or so years. Defense being that average though, with as bad as the offense was, and you have to account for defense being much better if we weren't 28th in yds - taking into account 3-and-outs/punt count.
So I'm picking only offense, because if our offense could just make it to top 16 (shouldn't be that hard), our defense will surely be top 10. And I could pick QB, WR, or RB, but in reality production from those guys all relates to how well the OL plays - it all comes back to the OL. So I'm picking only OL...
1. LG/RG Saffold - This guy gets hurt every single year. I couldn't believe we gave him as much as we did, he's literally on the ground rolling around in pain 8 or so games a season. He needs to step up because if we don't have a strong middle OL, Foles will suffer and struggle as he did last year in Philly.
2. LT Robinson - He has to be on this list - he was picked #2 overall last year and a player picked there should be starting right away and should be a face of the franchise in his 2nd year and beyond. If he and Saffold can play at an all pro level our OL will be at least average.
3. C Jones - We need him to step up and take over at C. A good OL in the NFL typically only needs a good LT, one good G and a good C - the rest are plug and play. Jones has been a decorated OLer his entire life, he is one of the smartest people if not the smartest on the team. His only limitation is his health. He's had what, 3 years to get healthy? He looked decent when he got in last year. If he, GRob, and Saffold can all 3 play at an all pro level, this OL should be better than average, host a 1000 yd RB, a 1000 yd WR, and a good QB.
I've never been one to say the OL/DL are the most important part of a team and are the primary factor in winning. But now that we have pieces in place, this is true. Before we didn't have pieces in place so I didn't agree with that mantra.
