It doesn't seem very likely. The offensive line is going to be bad again. When the two Johns (Miller and Jerry) are your OL saviors, then you have serious problems in personnel acquisition in your organization. Those guys are bottom-half of the league types who have been benched and run out of their respective jobs. Now they're going to be stars in Cincinnati under a piece of shit coach like Turner, lol. This will be the same movie we've seen over and over on the OL for the last 4 years, due to the fact that this team has managed to screw up it's rebuild every step of the way.
Linebackers are pedestrian again. Once again, our only hope of improvement is a 3rd rounder. That's a lot of pressure to put on that kind of player. Pratt may be a great guy, but this group needed more. Preston Brown is still a slow, 2-down guy that's not anything special.
Worse yet, our strong points, the guys that we've leaned on to be good to elite for almost a decade are, well, coming up on a decade in the league. Carlos, Geno, and AJ have a lot of tread on the tires now. It's a matter of time before their declines begin in full. Despite this, the organization still leans on them to play like it's 2015 for the next 3 seasons because they've done a shit job of building a roster since the post 2015 exodus.
2019 sees this team pay the price for a half-decade of first-round disappointments, zero additions in free agency to compensate for these mistakes/misfortune, and a lackluster retooling of the coaching staff with bums and retread losers like Anarumo and Turner. Yes "John Jerry can play OT" Jim Turner. He should be humiliated for saying such galactically stupid and obviously absurd shit.
5 wins at best. Just enough to screw them out of getting Tua next April.
