It's nice to have lofty expectations, and while I have them, the realist in me sees that it really doesn't matter who the backups are...what needs to happen is this team needs to live up to it's own expectations, then exceed them.

NFL defenses still play way too soft. Yeah, these veteran guys are short on physical ability. But I prefer to think of them as the wise old sages who will beat you with their minds.

Think Peyton Manning, SB XLI. Nothing difficult, just get the ball to an athlete in open space and pick up yardage. (And that was the best D in the NFC, mind you)

Easiest way in the world to move the ball.
