Expecting a big year out of Hubbard 10+ sacks.

It's ok, I feel like Ja'Marr Chase is the same for me, since Drew Sample was taken by Wes.  

This should be another thread.  "Who are you associated with?".  Of course, mine changes.  I remember before his rookie season being so infatuated with one Margus Hunt.  Ugh.  Still, he has ended up having a fairly solid career.  I wouldn't mind having him back.

Too easy to just love Chase, he will be great pretty damn sure, love the entire Draft class just think Ossai will be the guy that will
surprise a lot of people and make game changing plays for us, TFL's, tipped balls and about 5 sacks or so as a rookie. Still cannot 
believe he fell out of the 2nd round and all the way to us in the 3rd and we still got Carman.

Yeah, wouldn't mind bringing back Margus, he played well last season for us. Just keep him at DT.

It excites me that we will likely see these guys get action this year as well.  You could say we played Wilson and ADG out of necessity, but they actually gave them time over Evans, who was more established.  I love that they went young, rather than get some aging vet that is just drawing a paycheck.  I also love how all these guys fit that "relentless" mindset.  I can't wait to see week 1 and, hopefully, holding down Cook so Cousins has some long passing downs and the new pass rush gets after him. 

I am hoping the defense is a little tired about the offense getting so much media focus and they come out and make a statement:  Last year is over.  This is a new team.

Lou has had more help than any DC I can remember the last few years and has failed miserably. Hopefully it is all about the 
injuries hitting the Defense so hard in the trenches, cause it has, but next man up is the truest mantra on what a good coach
is supposed to be all about. We sure hit the trenches hard this Offseason, especially on the DL.

With Hendrickson, Ogunjobi, Ossai, Cam, Shelvin, Hubert we have the players to really stop the run and get after the passer.

No excuse for Lou this go round.
