I think we will need to be patient with Styles. He was a productive player in college. His physical attributes are freaky good and cannot be coached. He has the ability to be a pro bowler consistently and even more than that really. As long as he has the dog in him and our coaches coach the heck out of him he can be a star.

Downs is a stud (no argument here). He does not have Styles physical skills. Few do.

As the season gets closer and closer there are two major concerns that keep bubbling to the surface for me, and I mean major concerns. Our GM and our HC. God please prove me wrong. People want to talk about two years ago, but that was one guy putting the entire team on his back, and I think AP has failed to do his job since then.

Seems like those are premature thoughts.. We still haven't even started the 3rd year yet.

AP’s 24 draft class besides Hayden are on shakey ground. AP botched 25.
He’ll get at least one more year to see his vision come through and rebound from his mistakes.

DQ needs at least a winning season:9-8 though I think a 8-9/7-10 will still see him get another year. As long as we’re competitive and offense and defense shows improvement. If not, then he could be gone. 6-11or worse and he’s definitely gone.

Yes this is why I enlisted the help of God to prove me wrong. Lol. They are premature thoughts for sure.
Though this isnt based on Dan Snyder derangement syndrome, this is based on two years of questionable decisions.

We are going to find out in short-order what kind of season it is going to be. The 1st 2 games will tell a lot. 2 divisional opponents on the road. Then we come home to face the Super Bowl Champs. Man, the NFL really gave us the fucking business to start the season.

I have a feeling we're going to surprise folks in week 1. Don't get me wrong, we have a pretty rough schedule, but I have a feeling we're going to be better than people think.

I still maintain when JD5 struggled last year it was primarily due to guys not separating more than anything. Oline needs to give JD5 time. Defense will definitely be better.
