I think a certain herd mentality has surfaced among the offensive players about Zorn & the WCO. It may be that they are all excited for a change, or just that their expectations are now higher.

Even though it's a new system, I actually feel good about the offense & think that we'll score more & stay in games w/the O. However, the more I think about it, there is little to no improvement on D to this point & that is troubling. Given the age of numerous starters & the lack of depth behind them, I'm thinking our D. is likely to regress this year. Not to mention, Blache might be good, but he's no GW.

There is still time to pick up some additional players, and who knows, maybe a couple young guys are ready to step up more, e.g. Wilson, Torrence, Eubanks, but I wouldn't count on that too much. We're really going to need Rogers & McIntosh to be able to come back near full strength, cause there are certainly going to be injuries on that side of the ball to the older guys.
