I agree with CoolH and Frenchise. We have the potential to be really good and we are putting a lot of expectations on first time starters and really young players. We all agree that our OL will be definitely an excellent line, our QB will be fantastic, our D potential is definitely higher this year with the returnees and a few critical adds (JHD, Whitehead in particular). But we lost one hell'uva a lot of blocking expertise in our seniors on the edge and in the secondary. How many plays will get blown up because of missed blocks? Only takes a few and like Frenchise says we will punting a lot more. Now maybe our D can get the ball back to us that much quicker this year
Only time will tell. Our teams always seem to do better if we are not hyped and have a chip on their shoulder. I hope this hype and expectations do not get to them and us.
Looking forward to supporting this team this season in SPADES! Looking forward to seeing the development of the past two recruiting classes, which have some downright ballers in them. The countdown clock is totally depressing - too many days on it! THWG
