Every team has questions this time of year, some more than others. A few things that make me feel ok despite all the changes:

1. We're in good hands with this staff. In Shanahan we have one of the better coaches in the game, Kyle is an up and coming OC, and Haslett is a respected defensive mind.

2. In McNabb we have a proven veteran QB who's been to 5 NFC Championships and a SB. He is very familiar with the pressure packed NFC East and will have a little extra something to prove this year. The WRs are a concern but McNabb got by with a lot less for most of his time in Philly. How about a 1-2 punch of Thrash and Pinkston... anyone?

3. The coaches must be convinced Williams can handle the LT spot just fine otherwise we would be hearing whispers of Brown being moved over. Brown's injury situation isn't a big concern to me. He was reportedly ready to come back during the season last year but the team decided they couldn't wait and shut him down. He's had plenty of time to heal up.

All in all my expectation remains 8-8, with a possibility of 10-6 if things come together quickly.
