Brandon Tate - makes me shout at the screen an awful lot, his punt returning specifically is not good. I get that he's safe but any WR should be able to field a punt securely. Once he starts going sideways you know its never gonna turn out good.
Nuge - probably a bit harsh and if you were to look purely at his kick % its steady but kickers more than anyone need to give you confidence and be clutch and I always think there's a key miss in him. His leg strength worries me and not every playoff game can be in a dome.
3rd LB - I know not every position can be a pro bowler but you asked for weak link. Tez and Rey I like a lot but after that its a real hotch potch. I like Vinnie Rey and think he produces way above his talent level and is a great stop gap but he should not be a starter. AJ Hawk is just another vet fill -in ..big disappointment for me is Lamur who has not really progressed despite coaches raving about his ahtleticism.
As with other posters I think Andre Smith chose a bad time to have a so-so year and is gone with one of the rookies replacing him.
