Understandably our focus has been sort of limited to defense w/ the additions of big Al and re-signing Hall.
But as that excitement abates it's like now I keep remembering the anemic, bottom of the league offense that frustrated the living hell out of us for eight straight weeks last season. How much will we improve by opening day? What is left to add (or subtract) to produce a competitive offense? I'm curious to hear what the gurus, the self-made analysts, have to say about:
1) the possibility/probability our WR corp makes a leap in a single season (predicting no change in the group btw)
2) whether our o-line can become a respectable unit between now and opening day
3) whether you all think Zorn can create a game-plan that maximizes our talent on offense and turns "touches" into touchdowns

The main expectation I have is how JC improves in the WCO. This will be his 2nd second year and I'm hoping he becomes a decent QB. If he does not progress, we might finish 4th again, so this is a make or break year. This will also put expectations on Zorn to call better plays and take more shots downfield, and if he doesn't improve on either they're both gone after the season.
