Are We a Contender?

[GMScud]

I have a lot of confidence in our offense. I think the rushing attack will be close to the best in the league, and that will only open things up for the passing game. It's all about defense. If they play well, then we are playoff caliber for sure. Super bowl contenders?? No.

I beleive we will, if our d-line can play legitamately which we have to believe they will [according to the coaches there were a lot of health issues last season], with the new additions I think we can be a pretty good defense.

As for the offense? I think we will be leaps and bounds over anything we have had since Gibbs return, this season will prove just how awful Brunell has really been, Campbell doesn't have to play like a pro bowler but he will make plays, and he will hang in the pocket and look downfield with the arm to get it fown field without making the ball look like it was punted, we never had that with Brunell, opposing defenses will now have to respect that ability which should allow more room to run the ball as evidenced when Campbell stepped in last season and betts reeled off 6 100 yd games in a row. In all we should finally put a legitamte offense on the field with Campbell, which in turn will keep our defense fresh.
