I have been an optimistic fan in this green Dalton era, and I think our drafting has been stellar during marvin's tenure. On paper, this team looks stacked at many positions, with tons of depth to go around as well. Barring too many injuries again, we are certainly playoff/super bowl contenders again this year. Not having marvin jones, eifert, burfict all year, and green, gio maualuga, smith for a few games, definitely had its effect on the team, and we still got to the playoffs. With all them back and adding some more good players, (mostly depth for now) I can see us having a very good year. AGAIN, barring the injuries. I believe everyone will agree once they see how we do with most of our main guys. Burfict we know is an absolute stud with an attitude that gets the whole d fired up. You lose a 10 TD wr, its gonna hurt. Eifert was poised for a huge breakout season imho before his season ended so early. Last year was a constant change of plans with all the injuries and it affected the rhythm of the offense thru the season. I think our depth thru the whole team needs to be noticed. A lot of these guys can probably start on some other teams. I mean, we did still make the playoffs with all the injuries we did have. Guys stepped up. I also think we improved even more with the depth. I like our lb core now, and am very curious to see dawson. I think shaw will turn out to be a very smart pick, and with dre k., Dennard, hall, pacman, and shaw, gotta be a pretty darn group of cbs. WRs and TEs look refreshed. We are stocked in a lot of areas, so its hard not to think we can still do it, even if there are some injuries. We are poised again to do big things, but lets see where we are come weeks 16/17 and how the roster looks. Its all about timing really. You can't go into the playoffs without your top two TE's, WRs, and LBs, and expect to win, even tho my optimistic self still did!
