It seems to me we have a really good mix on the defense side of things...Norman, Swearinger who are vocal, positive vets. The young guys seem mature (Allen, Payne, Monte) and coachable.

I don't know if I can say that about the offense. I think the Oline seem to have a workman like approach. Silverblunt...as much as I love him...suspension questions. Alex Smith seems to have a silent confidence about him and seems comfortable with who he is....I couldn't always say that about Cousins. Guice...seems to love the game, fans and spotlight...no drugs or alcohol...but is he mature enough to handle adversity? Difficult to say. The WR group is a hodge podge of talent...each with own skill set...I need to see them play together as a group.

I think one guy on the offense who could be a leader is Chris Thompson...everytime he talks its always positive and mature. I can see him being someone offense looks too.

So everything looks good on paper...kool aid is the purple stuff right now....but lets see how this group comes together, especially on the offense.

There was an article, i forget where maybe here..., that had a note about ASmith in the meeting rooms early on and he would sit in different chairs each day to talk and meet different groups of players. I think we will see a very communicative and very positive leadership style from our qb that is team focused and goal (winning) oriented.

It seems we have QB here with a better leadership style than Cousins...or one that meshes better with the receiving corp. Im just hoping a strong running game can complement his ability and Gruden's scheme is a match for talent.
