I think Memphis has it right: the crucial thing for this D-line is to stop the run. We got absolutely run over at times last year. Giffen, Daniels, and Barrow MUST keep us out of 2nd- and 3rd-and-short every time like last year. If teams are in 3rd-and-longs, we can bring the blitz and employ our speed and aggression. But if Hambrick can run for 180, were in real trouble.

The new coaches are lightyears ahead of Edwards in terms of experience and know-how. I figure they'll get the most out of this bunch, and free up our real play makers (Lavar, Washington, Taylor) to change the game.
