our entire D-Line was M.I.A. and our big offseason hope Andre Carter seems to have made everyone worse.

our secondary: * BIG TROUBLE *

Springs won't be the same guy he was last year, even after he heals.

Rogers is a great nickelback, only a decent no.2, and by no means a no.1. he's had enough starting experience to show his potential guys, and his upside is looking less and less.

Archuleta is a wannabe Sean Taylor, with none of his physical qualities. He's not as fast, not as strong, and worse yet, with all his 'experience', he wasnt showing any kind of veteran instinct.

Prioleau was playing good for us last year, better at coverage for those 3rd and longs, and looks like he's out this year.

That leaves us Rumph and Wright. we're in real trouble back there.

Williams' blitzes only work when you can have some confidence in one of those two units (ideally both). our linebackers can't be a defense unto themselves.

our offense is new, it's obvious its just a matter of time (what happened to passing to SELLERS on the goaline, Cooley is the decoy!). but the defense isn't new, it's in the worst shape it's been in years. i'd be making some serious phone calls this week.
