C, Samuels
D. Dockery
R. Thomas

(in no particular order)

Offensive line health is the key to the season.

Betts, although a fumble-a-saurus, has filled in decently before and was a 1,000-yard back. The line was killing opponents that year. We have a lot of WR depth to compensate for a Portis loss.

Portis is one of the best backs in the NFL and my favorite current player, but if we lose the O-line, there goes our offense entirely...see last year for proof.
