All the major pieces in place. Hamilton, Madibuke, and most importantly Roquan Smith. That group changed when they got Smith. Noticeably. He controls the middle of the field. Ojabo looks like a find now that he's healthy. Clowney is a journeyman at this point. Stone was a third safety behind Hamilton and Williams. Queen was a loss, but the impact remains to be seen when they play something other than a SB champ. It's a culture team and has been for decades. Underestimate them at your own peril.
