I agree with you guys, I'm not worried at all about the offense. I fully expect them to drop 20+ points on Baltimore's D when we play for real in a few weeks.

The defense concerns me, though. Justin Smith is a decent run-stopper and he's durable, but he just doesn't have that burst to get around the tackle and hit the QB. Geathers is pretty good at getting sacks, but when he's not in the game we get zero pocket pressure.

I really think the secondary should be a strength, but Joseph's hurt foot has me worried, as does your report that O'Neal was limping. I believe Leon Hall is a special talent, but a rookie starting at CB is going to burned a lot, just from lack of experience. I really want Joseph to get healthy and O'Neal to step it up so we only have to bring Hall in on passing downs.

As for the LB's, I also think Brooks is a special talent, and Landon and Jeanty are serviceable. A lot hinges on Brooks' development.
