Reason for Optimism?

Barring injury to JC, this O will be something to watch. Please hope we sign Dock!
Defensively, this team has so many questions at this time, but I do agree in general that there was a dropoff last year that was an anomaly for all sorts of reasons. That doesn't mean however, that we're guaranteed improvement if we just get a couple new starters. Its more likely this D will be mediocre than good, but that can be enough to win.
I think the greatest anomaly was our nfl record for fewest turnovers. If CR & co. catch just a few of those int.s last year we may have finished .500. Turnovers are the biggest momentum changers in the game & when you can't get any your D is on the field a lot more.
