I like the Skins chances already - Peter King has us listed as #23 with no chance

How many times do you see a team that gets a turnover in the opponents side and rams it down for a touchdown and turns the game into their favor? The problem with the Skins in years past was their defense was not causing a lot of turnovers and they also were not giving the offense the best field position.

Granted the offense needs to step it up a little and hopefully being in the system in year 2 will help that greatly - but I think the improved defense alone can add 2 wins to our record.

Well even with good field position our offense seemed rather paltry. Hopefully that's where the o-line and wr potential improvements can help out. It was ridiculous how many times we had to punt from around midfield.
