[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 883094, member: 959"] I disagree with this statement. I’ll elaborate why. This will be fun to revisit in 20 weeks to see if I’m too positive or not positive enough. QB -> agreed. OL -> Push for now; but if we avoid the injuries we had last year here I’d suggest we’ll be better than we were previously. My guess, and what I’ll be watching for, is if we see less QB hurries this season and more open running lanes on called run plays. WR -> Much better with the return of BlackStrain and Blackburn I think we’ll see some more production from this unit. There were too many times last season where announcers and fans noticed the routes developing slowly. We need guys who can win 1:1 matchups or find a burst to get open. I think we’ll have more of that this year. RB -> we lost a lot with JG but have found some nice pieces and I think we’ll see this unit perform better (read as a unit get more yards and TDs) due to the OL improving/WR room getting better/Improved play from QB. So I’d rank this a slight overall improvement. TE -> CCL will no doubt utilize this room better. If not, I’ll eat my shorts - just let me wash them first 😉 On D: This was a slog to sort through so I’ve changed my point here to say a few global comments I believe to be true. Going by positions was not a lot of fun. 1) We will have less dissonance between the front end and back end of our DScheme. I’ll be looking for WAY less busted coverages with dudes running open in a seam that runs 15+ Yds 2) Our Safeties and Deep coverage guys won’t be burned as often. I hope - and believe - we learned our lesson about letting speed backs look like Tarzan/Play like Jane. Speed kills and Hitting power is a long delayed second. I think we’ll see our coverage units playing better bump coverage at the LoS and the back end guys hawking more and playing their men tight. 3) Our LB angles will improve - looking at [USER=29]@Ibeeballin[/USER] on this because like 99% of the board I know less than him, but hopeful I’m right here. It seemed to me that last year we had guys getting out of position (I think due to lack of confidence in the front and back ends of the D Unit which lead to hero ball) hoping this gets sorted and sorted quickly this summer.
