In terms of 2007, there are four glaring weaknesses.
1. TE - we do not have one starting caliber TE on the roster, which usually is not a good sign.
2. FS - we do not have a reliable coverage safety. Both Manual and Collins play better close to the line of scrimmage IMO.
3. RB - we do not have a proven player who is capable of stepping in and being solid in all areas of the game (running, blocking, intangibles) that Ahman Green was.
4. #3/#4 WR - Holliday/Martin/Jones all have glaring weaknesses. I don't think any of these guys are ready to step in this year as a #3 WR that can be counted on to produce consistently...even start occasionally due to injury. Normally, this might not be a concern with 2 reliable starters...but with the glaring lack of strength at TE and RB, it becomes a major concern.
Other areas have concerns as well...depth at LB, CB, OL come to mind, although I think we have enough strength starting at those positions to let the kids develop. Few NFL teams have great depth after their starters...it is a luxury, not a necessity.
