Oh the excuse army will come up with something I'm sure but IMHO he's used all his excuses up and then some.

I'm not hoping he/they fail, I'm not wanting them to stink. I just have a hard time believing as bad as they've stunk they're just gonna get it all together now. Hope I'm wrong.

I have optimism based on the following things:

-What I saw from Burrow last year
-The weapons on offense
-Improvements on the offensive line
-Frank Pollack

However, that is just on one side of the ball.  I have no idea what we will see from the defense.  Three new starting CBs.  They did add talent in Ogunjobi and Hendrickson as well.  Reader returning.  The fact that ZT has shown he does play rookies gives me hope that Ossai can make an impact as well, but there are so many question marks on that side of the ball.  The offense should be at least good, with potential to be very good.  The defense could be anywhere from pathetic to good.  That will determine our win totals.  

One thing is for sure, though.  If the weapons on offense stay healthy, it will be a fun team to watch.  Might win or lose a lot of shootouts.
