We however should be a team that's equipped to do it given how disruptive we can be up front. But 2021 was a dropoff from 2020. Hope 2023 isn't a dropoff from 2022.

Another bugaboo will be whether or not Howell is the guy.
We should expect some growing pains with him, and I don't know that it's fair to just declare him

The other bugaboo is the schedule...10 of 17 games against playoff teams from last year... plus improved Jets, Broncos, and Bears teams... Won't be easy.
All that said, if RR doesn't figure out a way to win at least 9 games and make the playoffs (not sneak in with a 8-9 record), he should be done.
