Moreau and Dunbar are extremely important players for us. If they show out well the defense will undoubtedly be tough. If they don't, we'll have holes offenses can exploit.

On paper you have to say the Skins are a very deep team, there really is no huge hole besides LG but Wes Martin may fix that.

WR isn't great but we have depth there, just not anyone that really stick out.

Deeper than the Giants for sure and about equal to Dallas.

Once Haskins gets going, he's going to be right behind Wentz as the best in the division.

That's really the problem in a nutshell - we have no #1 (or even a #2?) that scares defenses. There are some lottery tickets that could hit - Cam Sims? McLaurin? If they hit then we're in business. But until we see it from them - I'm definitely imagining an offense that doesn't threaten the secondary. Coordinators will be willing to stack the box against Guice and Peterson, and willing to blitz and leave corners on an island to challenge the passing game to win under pressure.

It points to a team with zero margin for error. The defense will have to keep us in games, and whether we win or lose will depend largely on whether we have success running the ball against stacked fronts, and whether we can take care of the ball. McCoy and Keenum are known to turn it over. Haskins is a rookie so we have no idea.

We're looking at a ton of close games, 23-21, 20-17, 24-23, stuff like that. Which points to 9-7 if we stay healthy, and 6-10 if we don't. To talk about 10+ wins or more, we have to see something from this WR group we haven't seen before. The lotto ticket needs to hit.

I think Haskins will open it up more than Smith did of course but I agree, the talent just isn't there.
