From my perspective, I thought with our OL and LB's we were doomed, but I did think ZT would at least pull some wins out of the hat given renewed energy, focus and more modern systems. I had zero expectations for the D, given Lou was our 3rd or 4th PUBLIC pick for the role, probably our tenth privately.
