[QUOTE="YJMD, post: 440656, member: 1929"] There are certainly justifications for these rankings especially given our record over 2 of the last 3 years. Yet, that record doesn't line up with our performance on the field (except ST last year). Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that our performance was good -- I'm just saying that average expectable results from the same statistics on our production would net more wins. That would suggest across the board our talent level has been somewhere in the average range. All that said, I think that we are in a much different position in this rankings in reality. Our team is quite experienced relative to average. Although we lost our starting secondary, for instance, there are many guys with significant game experience and otherwise the highest talent level per recruiting rankings at any position group on our team. Our WR are certainly not accomplished pass catchers in measured games, but they have a lot of playing experience, they have rarely been targeted largely due to system and QB play, and their impact in the run game is quite significant. Possibly no other team would switch receivers with us in the conference, yet neither would we switch receivers with very many other teams for the way we utilize WRs. And I say that not just because our guys know how to play our system. RB are way too low. We now have a ton of depth and experience, and we have 2 of the top 3 returning rushers in the conference. I seriously doubt we have the last place DL in the conference, but that's difficult to rate given the change from Roof. We were bad in ST last year. I can only hope our kick coverage and return games improve. But we do have likely the top punter and I feel much more confident that a healthy King with some college experience will be significantly different from last year. [/QUOTE]
