Last year was a tough transition year...a new scheme for everyone and not enough 3-4 guys on the roster to run it successfully. This season will be a dramatic improvement.

I see us having a bottom half of the league offense in terms of yards. I think our offense will put up so few points other teams won't have to run the score up. I like our safety combo, but hate our corner combo. I see us giving up a lot of big plays through the air, and some decent plays on the ground.

I still don't think Orakpo is great at OLB. At some point you need to stop doing the same move. It became obvious the holds weren't being called. Get to the QB. Kerrigan is a rookie in the middle of a position change, I expect very little from him. Fletcher is ancient. I think our DL looks pretty good, except I wish we had a more prototypical NT. I'll give Cofield a chance to play that position before I make any judgements.

I hope I'm wrong. However, I see our defense as pedestrian. I'm not a big Hasslet fan and think we still lack some of the explosive 3-4 components.
