I see 9-7. It's year one of Gibbs Pt II and I think it will take some time for the players to really get what's going on.
Offensively I expect Brunell to start, but Ramsey will play at some point and play well. The offense is really qb friendly, see Schroeder & Rypien, and Portis will continue to dominate. I think the line will be fine, we will miss Jansen but I think it's a chance for the unit to play better as a whole.
Defensively, I think the d line is solid. We will definitely be better against the run, and if we become a better tackling team then I see us being a top ten defense. If Dallas can be the #1 defense with Ellis and Ekuban, then we can do it with the guys we have. Sa'alvea did a credible job Monday night, we add Noble to the mix and suddenly you have a pretty good tackle rotation. The back 7 are stacked, Springs will have two tds this year on picks.
