So, which of our new stud players will have the most positive impact this year?

Thanks Les - I used to sleep on my back, but snore too much so now I sleep on my side, so I will definitely check latex out.

And it is a Cal King - which I will never buy again.
Love the size but finding bedding for it is a bitch!

You can get Cal King linens at Bed Bath & Beyond.........get eucalyptus sheets they are branded as Tencel. Someone there can help. You'll love them. Most places don't sell them though so I know what you mean. I'm guessing you are very tall if you bought a CK.

If you are a side sleeper avoid a firm mattress you'll wake up with stiffness/pain in your shoulder and hips.

at the beginning of the year, it's Aquib Talib.

Good call because both Suh and Talib have age on them and could possibly fade fast.

I'm not trying to whiz on anybody's campfire here but we have all seen players thay, when they reach a certain age, crash and burn inside of one season.

Deacon never did the crappy things Suh has done though.

Tell the guys that have tinnitus due to a Deacon Jones head slap that.

I will definitely check latex out.

Yeah, that's what my girlfriend said but she couldn't find it in XXXXL size.

Hopefully its one or 2 of our LBs

I'm going with Cooks. He'll be a great target for Goff, along with Woods and Kupp.

I just hope that he gets a long-term deal with us.

Well, I disagree 'bout Suh, but I'll leave it at that.

That said, I think all three of our DL demand double teams. Team typically double Brockers because if he's left one on one, he tends to win. No OL will have enough to block our three down linemen let alone whichever LB or CB comes and typically Wade sends 4 or 5.

Based on how the pieces seem to fit together, from a pattern perspective, this defense has all the pieces to be historically good.

The biggest noticeable piece will clearly be Brandin Cooks. The D will be there, but teams are going to have to decide to run (and you can't run outside all day) against Brockers, Suh, and Donald or they throw against Talib, Peters, Johnson and Joyner and neither is going to be easy or fun.

I can't remember ever being more excited to see a defense take the field, and I absolutely expect the offense to be even better this year with Cooks.
