Fox says Portis up; Defense down

[Gmanc711]

In my opinion, we experianced some losses on defense, mainly Peirce and Smoot, but like Joe pointed out, we have some gains. One gain that I think is not getting enough attention is the return of Lavar Arrington. Now, I know that alot of Skins' fans and football fans in general are very critical of Arrington. Now weather his contract and whatnot is better for our team is a question, however when you put Lavar and Lemar Marshal side by side, Arrington is a huge upgrade there. In addition, the return of Daniels to the Dline, it just adds up. I still think it will be tough for us to maintain the same type of momentum we had on D last season, but I defintley dont think we will fall much at all.
