The biggest area of concern for '04?

Gmanc711 · 05-24-2004, 06:25 PM

I think our biggest concern has to be D-Line. Although we did upgrade, we didnt really bring any proven guys which concerns me. I dont think we need a huge " sackmaster " bigtime name. In fact, with Williams coaching, I think our D-Line this season, has the Potential to be good. When I look at the rest of the team, I'm pretty to very confident in all the units. However, the Dline is the one area they still need to sell me on.

Based on the schedule I really think the Skins can go 10-6 this year.

But even if they go 0-16 it would be an improvement over the crap we've had to put up with the last few years. Just seeing Gibbs on the sidelines would make me the happiest and most grateful 0-16 fan in the history of sports.

I would say D-line. If we can get the D-line playing we can easily win 10 games. Look at last year we beat the super bowl champs and should of beat the Panthers. If the D-line does good everyone will do good. It will make the LBs and DBs job that much easier.

Another comment on the D-line: we must be able to hold leads late in games. We totally couldn't do that last year. Hopefully, our improved offense and ball control will help, but ultimately, the d-line is going to have to make plays late in the game. Blitzing with a lead is risky, and you'd love to drop lots of folks in coverage and get pressure with your down 4. Can our team do that?

One word: Coaching. That is why our defense will be much better than last year, even with a weak D-line. Maybe not top ten, but at least middle of the pack. Plus, I bet at least one or two unexpected players will step it up and have a great year...
