The Eagles are a mess on defense and they were really hoping that their line would be able to use this time to gel. Well their line has more key guys banged up then ours and they have several new starters from last year.
Mark this down, the Cowboys offense absolutely will not be as explosive without Owens. They seem to think that they will be better from addition through subtraction. Well when that guy is arguably a top 5 talent at his postion, that is foolish. Roy Williams likes to drop the ball, Crayton likes to drop the ball and I don't know that Austin is ready to be a #2.
Washington made a very good to excellent defense into potentially an elite one. Our secondary is as good as any in the league (I still shake my head at what they would be doing if 21 was back there) and the line is basically disgusting. There are some question marks at LB but they have one of the best MLBs and enough talent for the others to do the job.
We are basically following the Ravens blueprint except I think we have much more talent then those Ravens offenses.
The key is if Bugel can somehow piece an average to above average unit with this group. If (and this is an enormous if) he does it, the sky is the limit.
