I'm going to say 6-11 but they finish the season strong.
Offensively
It will take some time for the offense to gel especially Joe coming back from an injury. I think the line will be better at Tackle but IOL concerns me a bit. The offensive weapons are elite but I still would like to see another deep threat at WR.
Defense
There is a lot to like about the unit but not to love. The run defense should be good but I worry about the pass rush and coverage. Especially depth at pass rusher. Both Khalid Kareem (apparently injured early in the dolphins game) and Ossai look to be done for the year. I'm worried that Hendrickson is just a one year wonder. Also who steps up as a nickel DT besides Larry.
For the secondary I question wether or not Trae Waynes is capable of being a #1 CB. Auwzi and Hilton should be fine. Phillips is a fine 4th CB. Bates and Bell are an elite duo at Safety.
LB core should be the best since the 2017 season but I expect some breakdown's in communication early in the season.
Special Teams-
Wilson and Phillips could be the best KR/PR duo in the NFL. They could potentially steal a game this year.
I expect Huber to be Huber and I'm excited about McPherson at Kicker.
Wouldn't be shocked if Simmons is the interim Head coach after Taylor is fired.
