Down time things to talk/think about.

4. New quarterback working with our receivers
5. Rookie LT
6. RT coming off an injury

Those are just the big things -- I know we have made some great moves and I am certainly a fan (check the avatar) but at this moment BEFORE THEY HAVE EVEN PUT ON PADS, personally, I would be very happy with an 8-8 finish. In fact, that would be pretty miraculous considering the factors, division etc.

More specifically, regarding the defense -- we had a real problem last year in the secondary with the double moves. If there's one area where I have concerns, it's the defensive backfield. Other than some departures, I haven't heard of many additions that make me feel any better.

Will Haslett alone be enough of a difference to turn this segment of the team around? I hope so.
