Yeah, this article has good basis in common sense. It basically says the Skins' season could go poorly, or could go well. The same could be said for almost all of the teams in the NFL. The article doesn't prematurely write off the team like so many ridiculous pundits love to do.

For me, it comes down to this:

- Can Jason Campbell make the leap?
- And can GW come up with a better scheme?

Our defensive line hasn't changed, we have a rookie at SS, pretty much the same starting CBs in Rogers and Springs... we do have a much better MIKE LB and some additional depth, but our personnel additions certainly are not enough to go from the 31st ranked D to a top 10 or even top 15 D. For the D, it comes down to playing better. A part of it is staying healthy, but a bigger part of it is adjusting the scheme. If GW's tweaks don't work, we're not going anywhere.

But based on what I'm hearing about Campbell so far, and based on what I know about GW's brain, I like our chances just fine despite all the questions we have.
