We did not address our DLine issue (directly), if Smoot goes back to the player he was and Landry is the player everyone says he is our secondary is extremely strong. Fletcher is a tackling machine. But we did not directly fix our DLine. I say directly because we did not sign or draft anyone for those positions. but there is talk about Washington playing with his hand down, and honestly i am not sure how well that will work for him, but he is an athlete and it could cause some problems for slower OT with a fast Washington on one side and Carter on the other, their is the side of me that says hey that may work. But you lose size and with a little MB, it is important to keep shedding OLineman off of Fletcher so he can make tackles. The defense is hard to judge, nobody really knows how Greg Williams will use the athletes he has.

Definitely, I feel like the offense and defense are equally unpredictable. Thats probably the main reason the media has given us somewhat of a snub so far this year. They can't make any confident predictions...
